The CatholicTV® Network, the nation's leader in family-positive religious programming, is going inside the walls of the Vatican, into Pope Benedict XVI's private residence and capturing intimate details of his daily life.

This special edition of House+Home premieres on January 12, 2011 at 9:00 PM (Eastern).

Join Father Robert Reed as he serves as a tour guide on the ultimate insider excursion. Stand feet away as The Holy Father vests and celebrates private morning Mass, sense the joy as he creates new bishops for the Church, sit at the table in the pope's private dining room, accompany the pope as he meets with Heads of State, be escorted by Swiss guards inside restricted areas and catch the pope's private moments right before his most public encounters.

Each year, millions of people jam St. Peter's Square for the Sunday Angelus blessing of Pope Benedict. But none of them have ever been inside the pope's private study the minutes before he steps up to his study window to address the masses.

Until now.

Be a part of this unique moment -- the energy, the excitement and Pope Benedict's surprising calm.

"There was so much unbelievable footage, the show could easily be twice as long. We crammed the most riveting, impactful and impressive moments in this fast-paced hour," said Reed. "It is a true honor for us at the CatholicTV Network to be able to share the Pope's daily life with our audience. Oftentimes, a show is just titled 'a special,' this one really is."

This House+Home special event is the highlight of a whole month focused on Rome. From January 1 to January 31, CatholicTV Network debuts "Viaggio a Roma", thirty segments on ancient and Christian Rome airing as part of the original CatholicTV series Blink. We also will debut three new episodes of The Rosary taped in Rome.

"House+Home from Rome", "Viaggio a Roma" segments and The new mysteries of The Rosary will be available on CatholicTV (check local listings), CatholicTV.com and on the CatholicTV app for iPhone and iPad.

Beautiful!

This is really good, but I just have a question about the Pope's private chapel. Why does'nt the altar have the usual 3 steps? Thanks again.

They have done this well by using the footgage taken some years ago by a German channel following a day in the life of the Pope. I wonder if the presenter was really in the Apostolic palace?
