CRTC gags Catholic community.Canada's radio and TV commission (CRTC CRTC Canadian Radio-Television & Telecommunications Commission CRTC Combat Readiness Training Center CRTC Cathode Ray Tube Controller CRTC China Railway Telecommunications Center CRTC Cold Region Test Center CRTC Continuously Regenerated Trap Column ) has turned down an application for Canadian broadcasting by the American Catholic network EWTN EWTN Eternal Word Television Network , the word's largest religious broadcaster. In order to do this, it only had to follow through on its own secular commitment never to allow a "single faith" broadcaster on the Canadian scene. Because public bodies in Canada are now unwilling to distinguish between religions, denominations, sects and cults, all are said to be "intolerant." There is no truth except the truth that there is no truth, it is said. The CRTC's decision was also facilitated by a small group of Catholics who resent the straightforward Catholicism of Mother Angelica angelica (ănjĕl`ĭkə), any species of the genus Angelica, plants of the family Umbelliferae (parsley family), native to the Northern Hemisphere and New Zealand, valued for their potency as a medicament and protection against . For example, Sister Stephanie Vincec, C.S.J., past-president of the Association of Roman Catholic Communicators of Canada which opposed the application, said, "We have no assurance that EWTN would carry on the teaching of Vatican II Noun 1. Vatican II - the Vatican Council in 1962-1965 that abandoned the universal Latin liturgy and acknowledged ecumenism and made other reforms Second Vatican Council Vatican Council - each of two councils of the Roman Catholic Church in its fullness"!! |
