Anything on EWTN (Eternal World Television Network) is tainted. They're ultra-conservative Marianist Catholics, headed and often hosted by Mother Angelica, the Nun You Didn't Want To Have For Homeroom. Before my cable provider dropped it, I used to watch -- not for laughs, but sort of a clinical study of how sick and hate-filled any religion can become in the hands of the wrong people. I don't think much of the Catholic hierarchy, but compared to Mother Angelica and the EWTN crowd, the Pope is a gay Episcopal bishop.
