Vatican-Premiered “Seeking Beauty” Masquerades Modernist Aestheticism as Catholic Evangelization
The Catholic News Agency portal reports on the December 15, 2025 premiere of “Seeking Beauty,” a travel show hosted by David Henrie at the Vatican’s movie theater. The series, produced by EWTN Studios with Digital Continent and Novo Inspire, claims to help viewers “encounter God through beauty” while touring Italian sites like the Vatican Gardens and St. Peter’s Basilica. Executive Producer Edmundo Reyes describes it as an “evangelization tool,” with Henrie framing the content as “easy consumption” entertainment containing hidden spiritual “medicine.” The conciliar sect’s collaboration with media entities promoting aestheticized religion exposes their abandonment of depositum fidei (the deposit of faith) in favor of naturalistic spectacle.
