EWTN Press Release: September 14, 2012


EWTN: From the Pope in Lebanon to the
New Season of 'The Catholic View for Women'
And the Ladies' Online Chat!

Find EWTN at www.ewtn.com/channelfinder.

Many people have tried to prevent Pope Benedict from visiting Lebanon because the flood of refugees pouring in from Syria could be a danger to him – but he will have none of it! Watch the Holy Father meet the Lebanese President, Prime Minister and Speaker of Parliament as well as his historic address to political and cultural leaders. Airs live at 4 a.m. ET, Saturday, Sept. 15 exclusively on EWTN, with an encore at 5 a.m. ET. Find EWTN at www.ewtn.com/channelfinder.

With so many refugees pouring into Lebanon, why is Pope Benedict making a three-day pilgrimage to this site in the Middle East? Our Holy Father says he wants to show solidarity with Middle Eastern Christians, to send a positive message of peace, and to sign the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation on the Church in the Middle East, a direct response to the deliberations of the Synod of Bishops of the Middle East held October 2012 at the Vatican. See this happen after the Mass and Angelus. Airs live exclusively on EWTN at 2:30 a.m. ET, Sunday, Sept. 16, with an encore at 11 a.m. ET, from the Beirut City Centre Waterfront. Find EWTN at www.ewtn.com/channelfinder.

Airs 12:30 p.m. ET, Saturday, Sept. 15, with an encore at 11:30 p.m. ET – exclusively on EWTN. Find EWTN at www.ewtn.com/channelfinder.

Pope Benedict’s visit to Lebanon is sure to put the spotlight on the Maronite rite of the Catholic Church. What’s it all about?
