A couple of weeks ago, an e-mail popped into the Florida Catholic’s newsroom in-box about a new weekly reality show that’s scheduled to begin in September on CatholicTV and CatholicTV.com, the television ministry of the Boston Archdiocese. Not being a big fan of the reality TV genre, I initially ignored it.
But I saw last week [...]
