World Youth Day TV coverage online
The World Youth Day events are going strong this week. They opened on Monday with Mass with Cardinal Pell of the Sydney Archdiocese on Tuesday, July 15. They close with the finale events: vigil with Pope Benedict XVI on Saturday and mass with him on Sunday. But if you're thousands of miles away from Australia and would like to see some of the action, there's a few places to view the television coverage.First, take a look at:
The Official World Youth Day Video Site
You can find video of all the major events with little or no commentary (a relief), but it's not live.
Then, see
the EWTN coverage.
EWTN has live coverage of the major events.
Third, see
the Vatican Radio website for live TV coverage.
I'm sure that there are other sites broadcasting video in other languages. If I find them I'll let you know. Of course, you can get video snippets from the major news sources like the AP and Reuters, but they're not going to be bringing huge amounts of coverage.
Also, take a look at the Pope's first address to the youth today where he speaks about the evils of modern culture. You can find the text of all the Pope's WYD speeches here.
UPDATE: You can get the audio of the Pope's speeches at World Youth Day through one of the podcasts I mentioned below: http://www.radiovaticana.org/rss/rss.xml
Thanks to a reader's comment, you can also find TV coverage of World Youth Day at popeinaustralia.com.

Hi Mark,
Great blog, thanks! You will be in my prayers as you complete your study bible work. I could have used that in grad school!
I have been watching WYD coverage on CatholicTV's website PopeinAustralia.com
There is a teen reporter on the desk and a number of pilgrims from all over New England who are reporting from the events and their reflections on the pilgrimage.
Best!
Dear Mark,
I found your blog and I thought that you might be interested in the musical act called The Priests. What separates this classical trio from others is that they really are catholic priests, who have recently signed a recording contract with Sony BMG. They are currently recording an album of classic hymns from the Latin Mass but you can find them on their
website and even on youtube If you like what you hear it would be great if you could help them become better known to the public by mentioning them in one of your blog posts one day.
Thank you
Hi again Mark,
Verizon FiOS free ON Demand still has all the World Youth Day events on the CatholicTV section. I love the stations of the cross. So I hope CatholicTV keeps those shows up on Video on Demand. Also, Verizon has all of Catholic TVs coverage of the Apostolic Journey to the US. What a wonderful may to relive those great events!
peace, Shea
