Alternatives to The Chosen?
« on: March 07, 2024, 01:00:46 PM »
Does anyone here know any good Catholic alternatives to the Chosen? My father asked about watching it with me because I am more knowledgeable on matters of faith than he is but I've heard bad stuff about the Chosen so I'd like some alternatives.

How about something less rich to the senses and more uplifting to the soul and intellect, such as listening to classical music to find the few gems hidden in there, or watching Bishop Williamson interviews and conferences on the encyclicals, or a podcast like The History of Rome, which shows how little human nature has changed even to the extent of government and political corruption.

My dad isn't someone who'd really be engaged with that. This is for my father's sake, not mine. I think this could be a source of grace for him.

It's Protestant; portrays Our Lady having a painful childbirth, etc.

https://gloria.tv/ has many traditional Catholic films.
You might be able to find somethings not contrary to traditional Catholicism on: https://formed.org/

If you like radio dramas (this one is very good) check out the podcast on Spotify called "Ave Maria Hour."  The episodes on the life of Christ in particular.  Some of th other episodes are not so great. But this was recorded by Franciscans in New York prior to Vatican 2 with Professional voice actors.  The portrayal of the pharisees and their intense hatred for our Lord is especially good.  I highly recommend it.  They have the whole Life of Christ on there.
