Groundbreaking series on Catholicism to air on PBS this fall

August 15, 2011

“Catholicism,” a ten-episode series developed by a priest of the Archdiocese of Chicago, will air on 80 PBS stations beginning this fall.

Father Robert Barron hopes that those who are “not religious at all--maybe they're atheists, agnostics, fallen away Catholics--would see the series and maybe be drawn in by the beauty of it, drawn in by culture, drawn in by history.”

“That’s my hope--that it would be used inside the Catholic world but also as an evangelical tool outside the Catholic world.”

    We just got our copy of the series last week. Love it! We've watched episodes 1-3 with our two young children. Our 4 year old watches intently and asks questions. We're hoping to talk to our pastor and offer for others to come watch it with us.

    Thank you for lettng us know about this . I never watch TV except for EWTN. It's all such a waste of time including the news media. I get my news via computer (such as your news)Willyou be advising us as to the dates and times when it comes out?
