EWTN Radio’s ‘Open Line Event’ Airs Nov. 7-11 Hear The Blockbuster Five-Part Mini-Series: ‘The Transgender Movement: What Catholics Need To Know’ And Call In To Discuss With ‘Open Line’ Hosts

EWTN Global Catholic Radio will air all five episodes of EWTN’s blockbuster mini-series, “The Transgender Movement: What Catholics Need to Know,” at 3 p.m. ET and 10 p.m. ET – the “Open Line” hour – from Monday, Nov. 7 through Friday, Nov. 11.  The first half hour will be the episode of that day and the second half hour will be that day’s radio host commenting on the episode and taking listener phone calls.

“We had a tremendous reaction from our television audience about the show which premiered Oct. 24-28,” said EWTN Chairman & CEO Michael P. Warsaw. “This allows our audience to listen to the episode again or for the first time, to interact with our hosts about the issues raised in that day’s episode, and to hear what each day’s host as well as other members of the EWTN family have to say about it.”

Here’s the lineup for this special event: Episode 1 offers a cultural overview with Fr. John Trigilio, Ph.D; Episode 2 looks at “gender-affirming” interventions with Fr. Wade Menszes, CPM; Episode 3 looks at what the Catholic Church says about transgenderism with Fr. Mitch Pacwa, SJ; Episode 4 considers what parents should know with Fr. Brian Mullady, OP; and Episode 5 talks about Catholic Pastoral Care for transgender issues with Colin Donovan, STL.

“I’m tremendously grateful to EWTN for making this possible because this information is so needed; people are hungry for guidance on where they can go and how to help their families,” says Host Mary Rice Hasson, a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C. and one of three co-founders of the Center’s important Person and Identity Project. “When I go around and speak…people…say: ‘What happened? How did this happen so fast?’ How did we move from a so-called transgender moment to a transgender movement?’”
