Avoiding Babylon For Greater Glory - Faith in Film w/ Fr Dave Nix Season 1 Finale
Prepare yourself for an extraordinary season finale filled with insightful discussions and unexpected stories! We kick off with a delightful surprise, thanks to Pope Francis, who uncovered a treasure trove of stories this week. Join us as we explore Father Nick's headline-making comments about biting priests, discuss faith and film, and share a personal tale of frustration when my boat got towed. The episode also navigates the tricky waters of discussing movies with potential issues, offering a thought-provoking analysis of Pope Francis' controversial use of an outdated term.
Journey with us back to the 1920s as we delve into the heroic saga of the Cristeros, devout Catholics who stood up against a Freemasonic and Socialist takeover in Mexico. We'll dissect the Vatican's controversial directive to Mexican bishops and the Cristeros' defiant stand to defend their faith. The conversation gets even more intense as we examine a contemporary issue involving a priest who bit a woman to protect the Eucharist, debating the appropriateness of his actions and broader themes of when force is justified to protect sacred beliefs and symbols. This episode blends historical depth with current dilemmas, offering a rich narrative on faith and resistance.
Our cultural exploration continues as we shed light on the portrayal of accents in film and television, critiquing the effectiveness of fake accents and emphasizing the importance of authenticity in storytelling. We also discuss the production quality of movies funded by organizations like the Knights of Columbus and their impact on religious narratives. As we wrap up this engaging series, we express our heartfelt gratitude to our special guest, Connor, whose extensive knowledge and unique insights have enriched our discussions. We promise to bring him back for more thought-provoking conversations in future episodes. Don't miss this captivating finale that will leave you eagerly anticipating our return!
