God and the Girl
By all accounts, the A&E "reality" show following four young men in their discernment about the priesthood is "must see TV" for Catholics. Two segments ran last night and another two are scheduled for tonight. (I understand the whole thing will be repeated at the end of the week, but check A&E for that.) Sr. Helena, our resident media scholar, says that A&E really deserves kudos for allowing people of faith to represent themselves, without the network reworking their words or intentions according to its own agenda. According to Sr. Helena, this is something you can expect from A&E--so it might be good for "ye watchers and ye holy ones" out there to send the network a few words of appreciation.

I hadn't heard about this yet, thanks for letting me know! I've been running a series on my blog about how Christianity is represented in pop culture, and this would be interesting to write about.
PS: Thanks for commenting on Hard Soap!
Saw an episode today...awesome, most unexpected and betrayed by its title. Not exclusively or even primarily about the choice to live a life of celebacy...just a wonderful and inspiring portrayal of dicerning God's will. Startlingly good! All 5 episodes available on DVD soon for $25. Would love to see it for sale at my local Paulist Media Outlet. (Chicago/Michigan Ave!)
