EWTN’s “Seeking Beauty”: Naturalism Masquerading as Catholic Culture
Catholic News Agency portal reports on the premiere of “Seeking Beauty,” EWTN Studios’ new series hosted by actor David Henrie, which explores Italian culture through architecture, food, art, and music while claiming to point viewers toward the divine. The series streams exclusively on EWTN+, the post-conciliar media conglomerate’s new platform. Henrie, a former Disney star who “rediscovered” his Catholic identity through conversations with celebrity Catholics and a visit to St. Michael Abbey in California, presents the program as a spiritual journey through Italy. This production epitomizes the neo-church’s reduction of supernatural faith to aestheticized human experience.
