An Internet Movie Database reviewer syno...Hi Mira,<br /><br />An Internet Movie Database reviewer synopsizes the movie thus:<br /><br />"Tom Conti, Giancarlo Giannini, and Fernando Rey are all terrific here in improbable story about how depressed young pope gets accidentally locked out of the Vatican and has an adventure amongst Italian peasants in a remote village."<br /><br />I can appreciate the good things about the movie that reviewers have stated, foremost that the filming in Tuscany and Rome is gorgeous, and that the acting is good (I always liked underrated and underappreciated Tom Conti) and that it is definitely a feel good movie. So thank you for chipping in with a suggestion.<br /><br />However, Christian matters are serious and I would not recommend that anyone watch a movie that is Catholic and promotes Catholic dogmas. The very plot, the young pope dislikes his assignment inside the Vatican, feeling isolated and unable to help the people as he could when he was a priest, summarizes one of the problems with Catholicism: we are all priests to each other (1 Peter 2:5) and there is no such thing as a pope. Of <i>course</i> the richest person on earth, living in a castle as infallible, absolute monarch would be out of touch with the people he is supposed to bring spiritual comfort to! That is why Jesus didn't design His church that way and the very premise of the movie explores a conundrum that happens when we stray from God's word. :( Elizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-14219220073909377142015-07-14T08:27:10.790-04:002015-07-14T08:27:10.790-04:00Hi,
