Reality TV and Religion

This could be interesting, but surprisingly it sounds like it might actually turn out okay. Personally I think that taking people out of the world and putting them into a true monastic setting could have positive effects. Though that would depend a lot on the monastery that they are in. Hopefully it could have the same effect as Into Great Silence has been having.

The other one could also be good, because that is a truly serious decision. However the quote that not choosing celibate priesthood means you are entering "the world of sin and lust" and "giving over to your body" is extremely frustrating. It just shows how far people are from understanding the truth of God's great gift of sexuality. Sex and lust are not the same!

Regardless of positives, my hopes are far from high.
