THE VATICAN TELEVISION CENTER

The Vatican Television Center (CTV) was created in 1983. In November 1996 it was officially recognized as an organization fully associated with the Holy See.

The principal aim of CTV is to contribute to spreading the universal message of the Gospel by using television to document the Pope's pastoral ministry and the activities of the Apostolic See. (From the Statute of June 1st 199

The main services offered by CTV are the following: live broadcasts, production, archiving, and daily assistance to other broadcasters.

LIVE BROADCASTS

Every year CTV conducts around 130 live broadcasts of events inside the Vatican (the Angelus, the Pope's General Audience and other events or celebrations). In addition there are the live broadcasts associated with the Holy Father's trips in Italy and abroad. Live broadcasts are trasmitted by other Catholic television networks. On request by international TV networks CTV can coordinate satellite link-ups in order to relay the signal anywhere in the world. On an experimental basis, the Angelus is currently trasmitted directly from the Vatican via Intelsat towards America every Sunday. CTV is also promoting a project which includes the interactive and multimedial diffusion of certain major events marking the start of the Third Millennium.

DAILY SERVICES

CTV covers the daily public activities of the Holy Father and the main events that take place within the Apostolic See.

It distributes this footage to the press agencies and television stations that request it. CTV also distributes footage shot as part of the papal entourage during the Pope's trips abroad and coordinates special duplications centers within the press centers on these trips. Inside the Vatican, CTV offers assistance and facilities to foreign correspondents (TV crews, video and audio assistance, satellite broadcasts, editing facilities, etc.).

PRODUCTION

CTV has produced numerous documentaries over the past ten years of Pope John Paul II's pontificate, on the Vatican and the Basilicas of Rome. These have been broadcast on television and distributed on home video, often in other language editions including English and Spanish.Since Easter 1998 a weekly (25-minute) magazine program entitled "Octava Dies" is rebroadcast nationally by Italian Catholic networks and globally in "natural sound" by APTN. The Italian and English-language versions can be heard on this Internet site.

ARCHIVES

CTV manages a temperature and humidity controlled area housing a video archive with over 10,000 cassettes and approximately 4,000 hours of video recordings of Pope John Paul II documenting his pontificate since 1984. Television networks and documentary producers from all over the world constantly request access to this archive. A computerized filing system means the footage can be easily consulted according to subject matter, date etc.

Private individuals can request copies of CTV video recordings and productions on VHS by contacting the Vatican Television Center office which is open from 9 to 13, Rome time, Monday to Saturday.

So, I wonder if the people who complained so vociferously about the anti-muslim vibe on the board have written in to protest the anti-catholic situation we've created here . . .

I plan to reappear in the image formed by the droppings of a gastrically challenged pigeon upon the Pope's holy pinafore. If you look closely, that's not a wave.

No one ever complains when people knock Scientolgoy on here, either.

You know, "flaming Pope" would make a really good drink name- Amaretto, Triple Sec, Peach Schnapps and a shot of cough syrup. Light it on fire, say a hail Mary and drink.

It would probably be good lessening the inhibitions of altar boys, too.

Boy howdy DOES IT EVER!

I mean, I bet it would but have no way of knowing.

All it took for me was a hit of grass and a shot of tequila.

One steamy confession with "Father Rick" was all I needed.

"Why do I hear Buster Poindexter singing
"Hot,Hot Hot" ?"

I can't no longer hear than song ever, since working at Disneyland and doing 1,386 shows with that song in it.

Maybe this is pushing it, but how 'bout this:

FATHER O'MALLEY'S CHOIRBOY--an exciting reality series that brings the suspense and romance of THE BACHELOR to the winsome charm of KID NATION. Which kid has what it takes to be...FATHER O'MALLEY'S CHOIRBOY???

Clip:

"I'M the only one who is truly HERE for Father O'Malley...all the rest of them are just hater poopypants! I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to be Father O'Malley's Choirboy."

This is absolutely hillarious and exactly the sort of thing that causes people look at the catholic church and jsut chuckle. Its like a small child that you patronize.
