beautiful scene. I wish i could find the whole movie here.

[@HumanitarianEclectic]

This film, made in 1968, was based on the novel by Morris West, which envisaged a scenario whereby a Ukrainian Catholic leader called Kiril Lakuta was released from the Gulag and ended up as Pope. It was inspired by the real case of the head of the suppressed Ukrainian Catholic Church, Metropolitan Iosyf Slipyi, who was released from the Gulag in 1963 and transported to Rome, where he was named a cardinal. The appearance of this modern day martyr at Vatican Council II caused a sensation.

[@guyfroml]

@shenkorer I agree. Quinn was the greatest all-around actor who could play any role of any ethnic background. I found it embarrassing that the Academy Awards never gave him a lifetime Oscar.

[@Kinopanorama1]

Indelible performance by the always brilliant Anthony Quinn.

[@guyfroml]

I could not agree more with you in regards to the Academy. I did not even watch the show this year. In 2003, Academy did award Peter O'Toole a lifetime achievement Oscar. I recall reading he was a bit offended thinking they were telling him "take this one since you'll probably never win one." I recall watching his acceptance speech saying "always a bridesmaid, but never a bride, my foot!" He said he wasn't finished yet and might earn one outright.

[@juerv1]

Quinn was great in this movie, but Oskar Werner - the Mozart of Acting - makes the deepest impression here.

@@nofthet5548 "hoarding"? You can't sell that which is not yours. The church holds certain worldly items of monetary value, it's true.

That is only what people like you value.

[@admiralreagan1927]

No. To give up all Church properties and possessions could probably be considered a tiny bit short of apostasy. Not only are these possessions sacred and should thus be protected by the Church (lest they be sold and melted down for cash or other such petty currencies) but things like land and buildings are absolutely necessary for priests and religious to operate in and/or out of, especially in administration of the Sacraments. Although it would not dissolve the spiritual Church (the Mystical Body of Christ), it would most certainly dissolve the temporal Church and its functionality as a hierarchy and external institution.

The truth is that the wealth of the church does not belong to the church, but to God... people of faith have given their hard earned money and wealth to sanctify the glory of God and to gain salvation... it is not up to the church to give away anything pledged to God.. just imagine how you would feel if you worked blood, sweat and tears, searched far and wide for a gift for your most beloved only for her to give it away to some one else... it would break your heart

This just reflects the ingenuity of those times. If the Church did that it would endanger all their charity works and misionary works. Also, it would be for nothing, because humans will take the benefit but not change in anything. They would even ask for more, being entitled. We see it nowadays, when the reality is that we are owed nothing and we deserve nothing: we are dignified because God dignified us. Otherwise, we are just animals.

[@gunnarthorsen]

The wealth of the church isn't the pope's to dispense with. Works of art are in Vatican museums for all to enjoy. The present pope has even authorized museum tours for the homeless of Rome in addition to meals, because the mind and soul must be fed as well as the body. Items in museum collections, as well as books and manuscripts, are available for study by researchers and experts from all over the world. All of these things are the collective religious and cultural heritage of Catholics and the world in general. The wealth of the church also funds the WORK of the church, in all it's aspects. It can be used to alleviate hunger but it can no more be given away to feed the hungry - along with holdings and investments that make that possible - than can the wealth of the United States or any country be parted with to do the same. Wealth in private hands is and can be used for the good - a fact that socialists and communists refuse to accept.

Technically, he is an absolute ruler. I'll grant you, if any modern pope tried a similar stunt it would result in a serious crisis for the Church, but in the end I VERY much doubt the pope would succeed. I think it's a lot more likely that he would encounter some "unfortunate accident" or "sudden unexpected health crisis."

[@gunnarthorsen]

@@Guitcad1 Popes in the past were absolute rulers, with troops to back them up. Today, popes confer with bishops and others before making pronouncements, and the only pronouncements that Catholics are really obligated to obey are those touching on matters of faith and doctrine. Only in regards to these things is a pope "infallible". In other matters, he can be disagreed with, and bishops and cardinals have done just that.

[@gladiator3543]

Carbon Buster The Catholic church if not being the largest source of charity in the world is certianly among them; In the field of healthcare, the Church’s worldwide charity and healthcare centers include (beyond hospitals and clinics) 18,179 dispensaries; 547 institutions for people with leprosy; 17,223 homes for the elderly, the chronically ill or people with a disability; 9,882 orphanages; 11,379 infant childcare centers; 15,327 marriage counseling offices; 34,331 social rehabilitation centers; and 9,391 charitable institutions of other kinds. But I doubt even this is enough for some people. I wonder how many hospitals and orphanages are run by atheist groups?

[@heru-deshet359]

Carbon Buster I think the Catholic Church may be financially vested in Rome or rather the Vatican. Catholic parishes throughout the world fend for them selves. The Vatican does spend money on special programs, but it's up to each Parrish to take care of itself. The Vatican does have a fortune, but I think it's in treasures of artwork, monuments, etc, rather than liquid assets.

Why base your decision on who is the Pope? I don't. Do I love and respect the Pope even if I disagree with some things? Yes.

Don't let any man, Pope, Bishop, Priest, whatever, come between you and the Love God has for you. He loves you, he wants a relationship with you, and what he wants isn't perfection, but love and mercy.

Too bad its only a scene from a movie, but it is the truth of what the Church should have been doing all along and the hierarchy certainly knows it! It is interesting though that Pope Benedict XVl when he was a Cardinal in 1969 wrote that 1968 was the worst year in modern history for infiltration of all aspects of life by Satan. Benedict also predicted this downfall of the Catholic Church and that eventually there would be notrhing at all left of it. He was not writing a movie though and concluded that only Jesus Christ will remain, and Catholics whoever survives will have to start all over again in the properr way that Jesus snd his Apostles left for them! That means putting down their weapons and exchanging them for plowshares and never again learning how to make war!
