One of the few TV shows on the broadcast networks to treat Catholicism fairly is the CBS hit, “Blue Bloods,” starring Tom Selleck. Set in New York City, the show depicts how an Irish family deals with various law enforcement issues.

The family-oriented program often casts a good light on Catholicism, and is fortunately returning for a second season on September 23. Grammy Award winners Carrie Underwood and Tony Bennett will make cameo appearances and sing a duet.

Glad the Catholic-friendly show is being renewed.
