Rosary Army and SQPN Launch “That Catholic Show” Video Series
4/30/2007 – 12:00 EST
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MEDIA ADVISORYCONYERS, GA – The Internet’s most popular portal for Catholic podcasts has teamed up with another apostolate known for their dedication to spreading the Catholic faith to produce “That Catholic Show,” a fun and different way of looking at Catholicism.
“That Catholic Show,” a different and often surprising view of Catholicism, is a 5 minute video series available for free download via the Internet.
The new series is co-produced by the Star Quest Production Network ( SQPN.com) and Rosary Army (www.RosaryArmy.com), an apostolate dedicated to spreading the Catholic faith.
The premiere episode debuts on the SQPN and Rosary Army websites on April 30, 2007 and asks the burning question, “Do you ever wonder why Catholics sit, stand, and kneel so much?”
Not Your Typical Boring Religious Program
“Our goal is to take away some of the mystique and misconceptions people often have with Catholicism,” says Greg Willits, co-creator and director of the series. “There are so many fun and interesting things about our faith, and we wanted to present these topics in a way that even non-Christian audiences would appreciate.”Taking a cue from popular cable channels such as Food Network and HGTV, the Willits’ have created a show that handles unique topics with a light touch, making them immediately accessible.
“What we hope we’ve accomplished is to make a show that can be used to kick off discussions for RCIA classes, for LifeTeen groups, and for general conversations about Catholicism,” says Rosary Army co-founder and show host Jennifer Willits.
Catholicism Like You’ve Never Seen Before
“Dynamic and different Catholic content is hard to come by,” says Greg Willits. “But we believe there is a need for this kind of exciting media. We heard Pope John Paul II’s call for a New Evangelization, and this is how we’re trying to answer.”“That Catholic Show” is also available for free download from YouTube.com and Apple’s iTunes Podcast Directory.
