Finally... "Hand Of God" on KMBH-TV
Are They Showing It? YES!
Time and Date are Correct.
Holy Spirit Catholic Parish was a Catholic Community unlike any of us had ever experienced. It was a parish truly alive with the Holy Spirit. It had over 100 very active ministries. This all changed on June 18, 2003, when our bishop, Raymundo Peña, sent his diocesan employees into our parish to fire all of our staff. These firings were done in retaliation for their having joined a Union. Our archives, begining in July of 2003, provides the complete history.

In a rather surprising PR move, the Diocese of Brownsville included the following announcement on its website (http://www.cdob.org/) this week:
"KMBH-TV to Broadcast 'Hand of God'
"The missing Frontline episode 'Hand of God' will broadcast on a special schedule Thursday, March 1 at 7:30 p.m."

Not much promotion for a film that they originally censored. It's like they don't want anyone to know that it is showing. Imagine that!
Yea, and they had to lie about it again. The film never was MISSING... It was pulled!
I agree it isn't much of a promotion, but for the local diocese to provide any publication promoting the program at all on its own website is kind of gutsy, don't you think? After all, the film definitely takes aim at the institutional church and its leaders. By merely mentioning it on the CDOB website (without any editorial comment), the diocese appears to have endorsed the program.
KMBH-TV, on the other hand, has done a very poor job of adequately promoting the program. This "special schedule" of Frontline doesn't appear in the online PBS schedule, the local TV Weekly, Yahoo!TV listings, and probably not even the KMBH program guide (available only to KMBH members).

Diocese’s action promotes secrecy
Editor:
What is most disturbing about the Brownsville Diocese’s refusal to air “Hand of God” on its PBS channel is that the diocese still seems to believe that hiding the truth about child sexual abuse is the best way to deal with this horrible and ugly problem. What is even worse is that by taking this position of withholding information from the public, the diocese not just currently, but going forward, condones and supports secrecy as the solution to its problems.
