I'm like you. I only see it at the gym, when I turn one of the TVs to it. I don't even take TV in my cable package. I've got young kids, and there's too much trash. DVDs and the (controlled) Internet are generally plenty, but it would be nice to have a better idea of what the channel is showing.
Do you know if EWTN tends to feature the sisters of Mother's order? About 20 years ago, a friend—the daughter of a big-time Catholic philanthropist—joined, and I think it's worked out very well for her. I also get newsletters from a lot of turbo-Catholic colleges, and I've seen several mentions of recent graduates who are postulants or nuns there.
Those devout young ladies are in reality. The poor old '60s nuns are on a bad trip, and I don't think most of them still in their dying, socialist religious orders even did drugs. Some of them are even pretty good schoolteachers, but that generation of nuns was never taught how to think. Way different from the pistol-packing philosopher nuns who went before them. I still meet a few of those.
I'm pretty sure it does, but since I don't get EWTN, I can't testify directly. A lot of what I read indicates that, though. The wife watches some of the programs over the internet on her laptop.....mostly Marcus Grodi's show. I can't get into TV shows and movies on my PC (screen too small, speakers inadequate). We stream Netflix onto our "slightly" large screen TV, as access to it is built into both it and our Blu-Ray player.
Anyone out there know of a "stream-to-TV" option for EWTN??? One that doesn't involve a "home theater PC" setup??
