>>>Seriously though, why do they televise these things?
So that they can show the protestors outside as well.
I think televising them is a great benefit to concerned Catholics like so many of us.I had never realized what a bunch of posturing ignoramuses so many of our bishops were until I saw them on TV.If you watch who feigns sleep through some of the orthodox Bishops presentations,who salivates while hererodox bishops are slipping a sly one over and listen to what they say generally,you will be able to figure out the healthy,holy,Catholic dioceses and whether they are losing or gaining ground. I watch,we are gaining.
Someone is taping them for me this week because I have no access but I have been watching since EWTN has been carrying them.I have never said how much I learned from them for fear the bishops would stop permitting it.Now I think the tide has turned and they would have hell to pay if they tried to stop the telecasts.
