What you’ve been waiting for…another schedule for the Holy Whapping Television Network:<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
\n

9:00 PM. Trading Chancels<\/em><\/strong> – The late Martin Travers guest-hosts this week\u2019s episode, where we watch the new cathedral in Oakland get turned into a perfect 1\/6th scale replica of St. Peter\u2019s Basilica. Meanwhile, something goes horribly awry with the opposing team\u2019s attempt to put vinyl siding on Chartres.<\/p>\n

Monday
8:00 PM. House, O.P.<\/em><\/strong> – Mangy maverick novice-master Fr. Gregory House, embittered from years of suspicion from his superiors (\u201cnever trust a skinny Dominican\u201d), ferrets out obscure heresies on the campus of the Catholic University of America. This week: fears of an outbreak of Montanism paralyze the Dominican House of Studies after unaccounted-for stockpiles of cheese are discovered in the basement by Sister Allison.
9:00 PM. The P.O.D. Couple<\/em> <\/strong>– Hilarity ensues when Fra Oscar\u2019s cigar and poker night clashes with Friar Felix\u2019s turn to host his weekly ecology class. Can a Franciscan and a Dominican share an apartment without driving each other crazy? <\/p>\n

snip<\/em><\/p>\n

Wednesday
8:00 PM. Frater Magnus<\/em><\/strong> – A new season of last year\u2019s blockbuster reality show returns. This time, the rectory is playing host to a member of the SSPX, someone from Voice of the Faithful, a Jesuit, a Priestly Fraternity seminarian, an Opus Dei numerary, a CL member, a Bulgarian Orthodox deacon…and Matthew Fox.
9:00 PM. Dr. Pusey<\/em>. <\/strong>\u201cHello, Newman.<\/em>\u201d \u201cHello, Pusey.<\/em>\u201d The saga of America\u2019s favorite sitcom about the Oxford Movement continues. This week, wackiness follows Dr. Pusey and Fr. Faber\u2019s forced apartment-switch after Faber\u2019s disastrous attempt to redecorate his place in the style of an Italian baroque chapel. Meanwhile, Christina Rosetti concocts an elaborate scheme to falsify her street-address so she can order Supreme Flouder from the local Chinese take-away.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

My favorite from the previous edition:<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
\n

10:30 PM. The Office<\/strong>. Sparks fly this week as Msgr. La Fontaine hatches a sure-to-backfire plot to stop Pope Pius’s latest dangerous plan to authorize the printing of the Psalms in a separate section, rather than with all the other rubrics. America just can’t get enough of this new sitcom, inspired by comedic shenanighans of the the 1911-1913 commission to reform the Roman Breviary.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She attended Knoxville Catholic High School, then the University of Tennessee where she majored in history. She received an MA in Church History from Vanderbilt University, where she wrote a thesis on the changing role of women in 19th century American Protestantism, and the ways Scripture was used to justify those changes. She worked as as a teacher in Catholic high schools and a Parish Director of Religious Education and started writing for the diocesan press - the Florida Catholic - in 1988. Amy has written columns for Our Sunday Visitor and Catholic News Service at times over the past twenty years. Her articles have been published in venues ranging from Our Sunday Visitor to the New York Times to Commonweal. She has written 17 books. 18, if you included the as yet tragically unpublished novel.
