We have played many short clips from Fr. Barron’s Word on Fire ministries here before, but now he has embarked on a great project called the “Catholicism” series for TV and DVD. Perhaps you remember the series called “Civilization” from years ago, where a host went around the world and showed the beauty of human progress. Fr. Barron wants to do this with the Church, all filmed in high definition, all funded by individual Catholics. He still needs funding to make this ten-part series, so please consider a donation. This is no fly by night operation: the directors are Mike and Matt Leonard who have worked with the Today Show for 20 years. Watch the video in low definition now, or to see it in high definition, visit here.

Looks great! My hope would be that it gets picked up by a network, and not just EWTN or other Catholic stations- folks who aren’t active don’t usually watch those stations. Maybe there can be some kind of.. maybe someone can get it on a network, so that it can really reach people. That will be my prayer for it.
