AccountDeleted Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 But has he personally asked them for a copy? I think it might make a difference - at least I hope it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) I think he has, but I'm not sure. He made it clear that the subject is painful for him, and that it is closed. By the way... he didn't just narrate it... he wrote it. And he and Margorie G. put it together and paid for it. Either while he was Provincial, or while he was Provincial Deligate to Western Province of the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites. Yes, you would think they'd let him have the master copies.... or at least unlimited rights to copies... But I guess she left it to her family and they gave it to the nuns. My bet is he signed some kind of a release decades ago.... but who would have dreamed of internet and DVDs back then. I think he is out of luck. I didn't want to pressure him for all the details. Sad, and to my mind not horribly just... but life is like that sometimes. Say a prayer for him if you like the videos, NunSense... he'd love that.

I will Anne - and hopefully God will soften their hearts over at EWTN and they will release a copy or post online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiquitunga Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) Wow, this is all very exciting!!! I had never heard of these and I don't have EWTN... prayers that all of this works out somehow! :pray: edit: exciting as in, how cool it would be to get them on youtube and to do this for Father! :priest: but sad, the obstacles... but nothing shall be impossible with God! I'm not very tech savy, but I will keep this in prayer. St. John of the Cross, pray for us! Edited December 12, 2012 by Chiquitunga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) Could I please ask this favor -- pray hard, but don't make a big public fuss about this. I hesitated about posting on line, but I need help to make this happen. But knowing him, I don't think Father would want a problem, and it is just one of those things. So please don't try contacting the nuns or reposting this to other forums or doing anything like that. Just pray that we could get this done, because it would be a lovely thing to do for him. He's a saintly guy, and I'd love to be able to have us help him... I think it would mean a lot to him. And helpful to lots of us! Thank you everyone.... Chiqui, if you have INTERNET you can watch the streaming video of the second half... at the times posted at the start of this thread. (Not sure, but usually also 3 hours EARLIER in PST... So, 12midnight, 3AM eastern, 3:30 PM Western, 6:30 PM Eastern etc. Can't help you with the first half of the program.... but either we get it done and posted on Youtube..., or there is next year....

nikita92 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Anneline have you thought about approaching a school of film editing..college dept of that nature etc in the area of where you live?! maybe instructor's and students would be open to helping as a project. Also where I live,our pawn shops have tons of VHS players for really cheap for those that dont have one. We also have places here that convert VHS tapes to Dvd. you might too. Just ideas...:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikita92 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I will tape part 2 tonight (midnight) on my combo V/VHS/DVD. I will then call the business that can then transfer it onto a DVD disk..and find out the cost..it wont be very much. As a matter of fact..Ill do that today..and let you know the cost. How many DVD's are you interested in having???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Nikita, Thanks for recording it. Why not hold off till we see if we can get the VHS recording transferred more easily - a couple of people are working on it right now. There's not much use to have half of it I am afraid.... but let's see what we can do. I really appreciate that everyone is trying to help on this - and the idea of the film school is a great one -- now that I think of it, might even have a contact out here...... Will keep everyone posted on what happens..... Hopefully one day when it gets to youtube you'll all know you had a hand in helping with this.....

nikita92 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Ok. Im still going to record it just in case. ;-) I watched the first part last night. I wish I would have known..anyway...Good Luck and let us know how it goes. As far as EWTN goes...maybe if we started a petition and get mass signatures and presented it to them..that might help. Im really disappointed in EWTN for being so stubborn and selfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikita92 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Btw- it is on again on Thursday at 3:30-4:00 PM PST It doesnt state if it is part 1 or 2..and again on Friday 12:30-1:00 am So maybe one of them will be part 1 again. Yay!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im really disappointed in EWTN for being so stubborn and selfish. NO Please, no petitions, no nothing to the Nuns. Fr. B. was very clear he does NOT want that. He'd reather just let it go if it comes to that, and I want to honor his wishes. If we can get it in DVD format and/or on Youtube, that woudl be great... but otherwise, he just wants to let it go. Thank you for honoring his wishes. Please. But thank you for the thought, and thank you for caring so much. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikita92 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 No worries. It was just a thought. Any luck yet? I taped part 2 .(when I inserted a VHS tape in...it got caught and stuck. So I had to pull it out. It was old anyway) The second attempt..I thought it was recording..(at midnight) something happened and I discovered that it didnt record. The third worked. lol Im not home to check on the last recording to see if it was pt1or pt2. If it was pt1 then I now have both. Althought reversed. Im sure the place that does transfers can fix that. Wouldnt it be great to be able to send you Saint John the Cross on DVD?! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
