Catholic Fire

Via CWN: The Eternal World Television Network (EWTN) plans to launch a nightly television news program, starting July 29. The half-hour newscast will be aired from Washington, DC, and will address public affairs through “a Catholic lens,” said Michael Warsaw, the president of EWTN. The program will be anchored by Colleen Carroll Campbell, a former White House speechwriter and journalist who worked with EWTN in providing live coverage of the recent papal conclave.

Via EWTN: With President-elect Obama promising his first act in office will be to sign the Freedom of Choice Act and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops vowing to aggressively oppose this, the 2009 March for Life could be one of the biggest and most important in history. EWTN will offer viewers the most complete coverage available on any platform of both Washington, D.C.’s March for Life and San Francisco’s Walk for Life. Coverage of the Jan. 22 events will include live Masses, walking processions, rallies, interviews, panel discussions, and speeches from pro-lifers around the country. You can also watch or listen to these historic events live on our website at www.ewtn.com/audiovideo). Further resources can be found at www.ewtn.com/prolife. But that’s not all. Pro-life people won’t want to miss any of EWTN’s pro-life shows in January. Read More
