CNS)Father Benedict Groeschel, whose whole life has been spent preaching the Gospel, suffered a minor stroke in mid-March, leaving him with some speech difficulties.

Father Benedict made the news public on his regular Sunday evening talk show March 29 on the Eternal Word Television Network, “Sunday Night Life with Father Benedict Groeschel.”

Appearing before a life audience, the 75-year-old Franciscan Friar of the Renewal noted that he had missed the show the previous Sunday because he had suffered a stroke overnight March 20-21. Another member of his community, Father Andrew Apostoli, also well-known to EWTN viewers, substituted for him.

I have always thought that Fr. Groeschel has a stong resemblence to St. Benedict.

EWTN Moved

We just realized that EWTN has been relegated to Digital Cable for Comcast. I have it in my room because I have digital cable, but the rest of the house doesn't. I think its ridiculous that it would be put on an extra pay service as opposed to the standard cable. It was my understanding (or at least it used to be) that EWTN didn't charge for the cable providers to air their programs, so how can they justify putting it on a higher pay scale?

Maybe they just want to hide EWTN's light under a bushel basket.

Happy Birthday

Happy 85th Birthday to Mother Angelica!

Rush in a Hurry

I get the Rush in a Hurry emails which gives a rundown of the day's show. I usually don't read it, I skim at best, but what caught my eye was the first paragraph...

Pope Benedict XVI Visits America: The entire White House ceremony will be on EWTN tonight at 9 EDT...DirecTV channel 370

I think its pretty neat that EWTN was mentioned because a) I tend to think that they have the best commentary out there on the Pope and b) it just advertised the network to a group of people who may or may not know about it.

Cool beans, thanks Rush!
