You always have to question the motives of a TV network, even one of the lesser ones like A&E on something like this. A&E has had plenty of anti-Christian and more specifically anti-Catholic programing in the past, especially since the publishing of that Da Vinci book.

I just found out about this over at Jimmy Akin’s place.

I haven’t seen a whole lot of buzz about this around the blogosphere. The film about the early career of Pope John Paul the Great will be on the Hallmark channel tonight. I am hoping for a rerun, because I’ve got to be in to the office early in the morning (0230) and I’m going [...]
According to Zenit and many other outlets, Papa Ben is working on his first encyclical. I can’t wait to read it, even though I have no idea what’s going to be about. I’m kind of hoping for something good on the liturgy, but only time will tell. What do you guys think it’ll be about?
There’s an offical prayer published by the diocese of Rome to ask for intercession from Pope John Paul the Great. Hopefully God will shower us with miracles that will confirm his sainthood.
