The Queens speech is broadcast at Xmas cuz it the Xmas Queens speech, The one on her birthday is broadcast, amazingly, on her birthday. As for X factor? What? It cannot be a coincidence that SOP is broadcast on the Sabbath day for that religion but apparently its still not a show promoting Christianity.

I think we're going over the same ground again and again here. If you want to continue then by all means but I propose we agree to disagree.

So the Queen's Christmas speech is unsurprisingly broadcast at Christmas but a show broadcasting Sunday Mass being broadcast ON A SUNDAY is a problem? Ok. Masses in churches take place throughout the week and Sunday masses vary from very early in the morning to way into the evening within different parishes so no matter when it's broadcast it would coincide with something on the church's schedule. Ie. they can't win.

Meanwhile, everyone else either watches it or does something else.

The discussion was whether it promotes Christianity. The fact it airs on the Sabbath is one reason why.

So if they aired it at 4pm on a Friday it suddenly is not promotion?

Ok.

Ok.

It would lend weight to your argument.

No it wouldn't. Churches hold masses throughout the week.

So no doubt if they aired on a Wednesday you'd accuse them of promoting Benediction?

No churches near me hold masses in the week that anyone turns up to.

The discussion also turned to how much it can be said this programming is "forced" on the viewing audience.

Hence me explaining how the scheduling works when you told me we're discussing whether it's promotion. I was explaining how my post on scheduling fit into our discussion.

I see you've changed the post.
