Another great video from Michael Voris at Real Catholic TV titled "The Gates of Hell" describing the ongoing battle versus the Kingdom of Hell.

Occasionally I miss having TV, and the one day I miss it more than any other is Super Bowl Sunday. The funny commercials, the new movie trailers, the game itself, it's the perfect day to watch TV. Lately I've been reading some books about Fatherhood and the subject of TV comes up quite a bit. Just to be clear, we do have a TV, but no channels, so we watch movies and shows (alot of Little House on the Prairie lately!) and my family and I really enjoy it.

But as my kids get bigger, I realize more and more how important it is for them to watch shows that are appropriate and not just trash.

A couple of weeks ago I received an email from Our Lady of the Rosary Library, with a Talk Given by the Dominican Teaching Sisters and it will really make you want to just throw your TV out.

Now instead of acting rashly, my wife and I decided instead to further limit the TV (and video game) time. Hopefully we can come up with a plan during Lent of giving it up and finding some time for more family games or reading time.

This morning on the radio, I heard a commercial for Charter TV with their slogan of "Let It All In". I chuckled to myself because that is exactly why we don't have TV, because it "All" gets in.

Thanks Charter for this commercial, it makes me realize how much TV can control our lives and even though I sometimes miss it, how much I don't want it in my home.

RealCatholicTV.com produces great videos aimed at helping Catholics live their faith. I'll admit, I don't know how bad it really is out there...

Michael Voris does a great job teaching and informing the laity using the Catechism and Scripture, I can't even begin to imagine the crazy letters and emails they get on a daily basis. If you get a chance you can check out some of their work on their YouTube page at www.youtube.com/user/RealCatholicTV.

I've heard of our diocese being talked about in a negative light, but I've never experienced anything like in the video above. I thank God every day for Bishop Hebda and Bishop Cooney and keep them in my prayers.

I just read this announcement from EWTN about a new show called "Crossing the Goal" which will help use sports to help men "get into spiritual shape". Here's the synopsis...

Danny Abramowicz, former NFL all-pro wide receiver and coach, has created a television show with EWTN Global Catholic Network called “Crossing the Goal,” which uses a sports show format to encourage men to get into spiritual shape.

“On this show, we talk to men about the things that are happening in their lives right now and we challenge them to do something about it,” said Abramowicz, who played for the New Orleans Saints and the 49ers. “Guys respond to a challenge. The Lord will help them, but they have to admit that something is not right in their life.”

Anytime you can get more men to increase their faith is a good thing. I hope they have lots of success!

I'll admin when I first read about the show I thought it was a different Curtis Martin co-hosting.
