srmarymichael Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Another good video posted on the SeekHoliness.com website: [url="http://www.seekholiness.com/html/main_video.htm"]"God or the Girl" from A&E[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnificat Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Interesting video...I like some of the pictures, but I think it's a weird dichotomy for A&E to be drawing...if you're called to marriage, aren't you being called to God AND the girl??

Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Yeah... I think that the opening with the different people was kinda cheesy... you know the part where they introduce you to the people and display their name... I know, I know... I'm probably being picky... I kinda liked all the pretty statues though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest phatdaddy Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I don't know what to think about the video. At first I did not think it complimentary because it is only partly true. There's so much more that could have been said besides God = no sex and Girl = sex. I think Magnificat got it right. I think it is a diservice to the church but I may just be over-reacting (I do that on occasion ) Mr. Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HisChild Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I read a review about this show a while ago. Apparently the producers were a little. . .I can't remember the words they used, but 'leery' maybe and didn't have all that much respect for those who were considering the priesthood, but after they filmed the show? They had totally changed their hearts. So, while I haven't a clue about the show, or how it will turn out, and won't get to see it, I do know those in charge of making the show had the utmost respect for the priesthood when they were done with the show.

srmarymichael Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 I just thought it was cool because they are showing real young men that are thinking about being a priest. There are so many who feel like they are the only ones!!! The part I didn't like was how they put it up against the girls. They don't understand that if we are called to a Religious Vocation, God gives us a special grace to have [b]intimacy with Him[/b]! that far supasses "a girl" (or a man in my case)....

MC IMaGiNaZUN Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 the review i read said the name was to get peoples attention. Consumers and viewers are fickle and superficial. You can get good ratings when you appeal to the lowest appetites of your audience. The sad fact. With all the rejection, hatred, misunderstanding, and foolish ignorance i have had to put up with in the last five years when i first had this sacred desire for holy orders, i would wish that some people who fit that category might begin to understand what i go through. But i cannot come to a conclusion about the show until i watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frjeff Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 -the original title was Holy Journey, but A&E insisted the title be changed. -the four men though understand that the decision is between priesthood and marriage and not God or the girl. -it is a very good show. i have seen four of the five episodes and i am actually the mentor to Dan. the show does not truly understand the whole process of discernment, but it is not so much about discernment as it is about the four men moving through the process. -i would recommend watching it.

I would imagine it would be hard for A&E to figure out what to do with it I don't have cable so unless some other channel picks it up later, I won't see it....

MC IMaGiNaZUN Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Easter Sunday, at 9 pm here in California. Check your local TX listings. But it does premier on Easter Sunday. SHALOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zunshynn Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I agree... I don't like the implications of the title... but it does look like it will be tasteful, better than alot of things on T. V. and interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fides_et_Ratio Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 The title was set forth by A&E, not the producers. They want the show to get attention... so the title is intentionally misleading. But the guys (and I know Dan as well) have been good about pointing out the fault of the title... both are good and valid ways to live out love of Christ... either through marriage, or through the priesthood. It should be a good show as I know Dan's a holy guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
