‘Outcast’: Cinemax Picks Up Demonic Possession Drama From ‘Walking Dead’ Creator

Last updated on: February 20, 2015 at 12:23 pm By Kate O'Hare

Here’s news on an upcoming supernatural drama from the creator of AMC’s zombie drama “The Walking Dead,” already available in comic-book form. Will it be good? We’ll have to wait and see, but it doesn’t involve a Catholic priest, so it’s already got one hand tied behind its back. As you know, when Satan and his minions threaten to sweep over the face of the Earth, you gotta have the smells and bells … CINEMAX PICKS UP NEW DRAMA SERIES OUTCAST LOS ANGELES, Feb. 12,...

When Doves Cry: Resurrecting a Beautiful Typeface From the Depths

Last updated on: February 19, 2015 at 9:36 am By Kate O'Hare

From Gizmodo, “The Gorgeous Typeface That Drove Men Mad and Sparked a 100-Year Mystery” … Their type was created in 1899, and the duo would use it to print indescribably beautiful books, bound by hand and designed with the perfect balance of craftsmanship and modern utility. Cobden Sanderson was a bit of a snob in the sense that he only wanted to commit his designs to the finest literature, the “most beautiful words.” They printed Paradise Lost. They printed the English Bible.... Read more

10 Awesome Grilled Cheese & Soup Combos for Lent (With Help From TV)

Last updated on: February 26, 2015 at 10:58 pm By Kate O'Hare

I can’t help you with your fasts — being hungry is the point, so you’re on your own there — but I sure can help with abstinence during Lent. As a closed door leads to an open window, the (temporary, for me) absence of meat (mmmmm … meat) means the presence of other things. And one of those things is the grilled-cheese sandwich (or GCS, for short). Of course, you can have it with meat — and I heartily endorse... Read more

Larry Gatlin on the Witness of Joy

Last updated on: February 16, 2015 at 4:58 pm By Kate O'Hare

An airport cleaning woman schools the veteran country singer, as related in a FoxNews.com opinion piece: Don’t get me wrong, I love my “job.” The old saying that “the man who loves his job is always on vacation,” really applies to me. But this morning I got a master’s class, a sermon, a life lesson in joy. I wasn’t close enough to her to recognize the tune she was humming under her breath, it ws as if she were humming...

The Laudate App Crashed! Libera Me, Domine!

Last updated on: February 16, 2015 at 3:45 pm By Kate O'Hare

Loving this youth video from Catholic Athlete: And if you’re wondering about Laudate (available for iOS and Android, and also from Amazon) this free app is currently my Novus Ordo missal, and the prayers, rosaries (including my favorite, the Franciscan Crown), chaplets, Bibles and Vatican documents I carry around with me. Now if only they’d add the Tridentine Mass missal. I’m with the kids in the video on the confusion of page-flipping. Image: Screenshot from YouTube: Catholic Athlete Read more

ISIS and the End Times: What the Media Should Be Doing

Last updated on: February 16, 2015 at 4:15 pm By Kate O'Hare

Over at CatholicVote, in a post called “ISIS and the End Times,” I offer some excerpts from, and a link to, “What ISIS Really Wants,” a meaty, substantive piece from The Atlantic on the theology and goals of the Islamic State militants. Click here for my post, but The Atlantic article is an example of what the media can do, if it’s brave and thorough. Contributing editor Graeme Wood takes a detailed, comprehensive look at how ISIS fits into Islamic... Read more

NFL Star Benjamin Watson on Christ and True Love for St. Valentine’s Day

Last updated on: February 14, 2015 at 2:07 pm By Kate O'Hare

Ever since he wrote a thoughtful, heartfelt post about the unfortunate events in Ferguson, Missouri, I’ve been following the Facebook page of New Orleans Saints tight end Benjamin Watson, and I wrote about his lovely sentiments for New Year’s Day. An outspoken Christian, husband and father of four, Watson continues to hit them out of the park. Here’s his current post, on St. Valentine’s Day and the nature of real love: I can vividly remember those grade school ‪#‎ValentinesDay‬ cards. As the big... Read more

‘All About Sex’ With Cradle Catholic Heather McDonald

We’re always happy to see a successful Catholic in the entertainment business, but let’s be honest, they’re not all going to be Raymond Arroyo. TLC closes out the first season of its freshman panel-talk show “All About Sex” on Saturday, Feb. 14, with an episode called “Reinventing Romance.” Unfortunately, it’s also somewhat about “50 Shades of Grey,” which is, one way or another, going to be a main topic of conversation this weekend The series, which airs at 11 p.m....

PBS’ ‘Shakespeare Uncovered,’ Part 2: The Bard’s Out-of-Control Humanity

Last updated on: February 13, 2015 at 2:54 pm By Kate O'Hare

In this companion piece for CatholicVote, I sat down with “Shakespeare Uncovered” producer Richard Denton, and explored the Bard’s possible Catholicity and undeniable humanity: “The odd thing is,” [Denton] said, “in a way, the plays make more sense when you realize they are written by a man who’s not entirely in control of his own gift. He sits down to write a play, for instance, ‘The Merchant of Venice,’ which we haven’t done [on ‘Shakespeare Uncovered’]. “He knows that writing... Read more

PBS’ ‘Shakespeare Uncovered’: Joseph Fiennes and Joseph Pearce on ‘Romeo and Juliet’

Last updated on: February 13, 2015 at 2:55 pm By Kate O'Hare

On Friday, Feb. 13, one day before St. Valentine’s Day, season two of PBS’ “Shakespeare Uncovered” looks at two dramas about lovers. In each episode, an actor associated with the play is host for an in-depth look at its history, themes and various productions. “Antony and Cleopatra” features “Sex and the City” star Kim Cattrall, who made her debut as the Queen of the Nile in 2010 at the Liverpool Playhouse in England.
