It takes place in the early 1800’s (1820’s?) in England. The entire series runs about five hours and is very well done in a variety of ways (screenplay, dialogue, acting, costumes and “on location” sets). For many, it is entertaining to the point of addiction, but it is a little bit confusing at first. This “orientation commentary” is my attempt to do what someone did for me when I watched it for the first time, to define some terms and clarify a few issues for the first-time viewer (maybe the second and third-time viewer as well!). https://stjosephnorthbend.com/news/orientation-commentary-for-jane-austens-pride-and-prejudice Mon, 27 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0500 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AGd8Es7rws&feature=youtu.be "Because of Easter, we believe and we proclaim that suffering and death lead to resurrection and new life. Easter promises us there is no darkness that cannot be overcome. The way of discipleship does not end in the tomb. With Jesus we rise and go forward unafraid." https://stjosephnorthbend.com/news/an-easter-message-from-most-reverend-dennis-m-schnurr-archbishop-of-cincinnati Fri, 10 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0500 https://stjosephnorthbend.com/news/a-message-from-our-pastor-father-andrew-umberg I hope and pray that you and your families are doing well physically, psychologically and spiritually.
