@@LV-wl7ch wtf? Get an education and stop repeating anti-Catholic crap, man. The Inquisition at its worst estimates condemned 32,000 people in the span of 400 years, far less than secular courts. Doesn't mean we have not come a long way in how justice systems works today, but get some historical context and facts right instead of repeating nonsense. Atheist Communist regimes and occult-mystic ideologies like Nazism (see influence of Blavastky) should be your real concern as we have renewals of these persistent heresies today.

One of my uncles was one of the many who hid out in Rome.He had been taken Prisoner at Monte Casino ,then managed to escape.He travelled all over Italy before getting caught in Rome and spending the rest of the war in Colditz.

[@MrWindermere123]

I'd like to answer my own question posed in an earlier comment. After a little research, I know that Herbert Kappler was put on trial for war crimes in 1947 and condemned to a life sentence in an Italian prison. His wife Leonore divorced him in 1948, so that's why she didn't visit him in prison. He had supervised the killing of 335 Italian civilians during the war, which explains why he was given a long sentence. He eventually escaped from an Italian hospital and died from stomach cancer 6 months later in Germany, aged 70. Hugh O'Flaherty suffered a stroke, returned to Ireland and died in 1963, aged 65. Maybe the stress of the war and his work saving others shortened his own life. As you see, this was a haunting film.

[@velapalim6281]

Thanks for this information

[@rickoshay5525]

Gregory Peck looks like he was older than that when they made this movie.

[@LS-ei7xk]

I don't understand. You are saying the ending in the movie was not true? Why would Kappler escape the Italian hospital if he had a lifelong sentence and he had "converted"? Though I don't know what they were doing to him in that hospital. And I suppose "Nina" could be a nickname for "Leonore"? Interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if O'Flaherty had something to do with commuting Kappler's sentence to life imprisonment, too. Most Nazi officers were hanged.

When I have been in the Roman Synagoge together with a group of American visitors, one of the guests started insulting and blaming pope Pius XII for not having helped the Jews, whilst being well informed on what the German plans were for extermination after railway transports to the camps in the east. The Synagoge guide's firm statement was then, that most probably there has not been another single person helping as much as the pope, not personally but ordering monasteries and parishes to protect Jewish lives.

[@genetberu735]

Dear,@@nedludd7622 Dear, I have been asking the same question ever since I read the Diary of Ann Frank when I was 14-15 years old. I am Catholic and what the priests would say is that God does not want to interfere in our lives, he gives us freedom to choose. I happen to disagree with those priests. I blame, mostly all those nations who knew what was going on in Germany and they chose not to interfere in time to stop before millions of Jews were being slaughtered. It is not mythology or fairytales. Yes, the Jews people have been suffering for thousands of years. I honestly believe that the Jews people are Gad’s chosen people to teach and guide the rest of us on how to live our lives. When a child is favored by his parents, the rest of the siblings hate that child. Very good example is, Joseph and how he was hated by his brothers. I don’t know if I am making any sense, but I feel your pain. I’ve watched many documentaries about the gruesome Holocaust of Nazi Germany, and I always get amazed and cry on how we humans can be so cruel to each other. It is my daily prayer for God to interfere and stop this current war. May God give peace to the Jews people and the world!✡✡✡

Forgiveness is not easy, especially for those who have the most to forgive. Still, if you can forgive, it is so liberating!

Just as an example, the Choctaw nation helped Ireland during the famine, even when they themselves were poor. That act of kindness will NEVER be forgotten.

That is absolutely true. The Choctaw gave what little they had to alleviate famine in Ireland.

[@valerielyda6414]

Such an impressive film! Learning the true story of Monsignor O' Flaherty and his compassionate organization gives me comfort when the world appears ugly with evil doings. It was satisfying to discover the Nazi officer converted from atheism.

I have watched this over and over and each time I have been mesmerised by he magic created by the Director by Christopher Plummer , Gielgud and the greatest of all great actors... Gregory Peck ! unforgettable unforgettable unforgettable

[@wowofamily8450]

2 of my all time favorite actors, Gregory Peck and Christopher Plummer...I have seen this movie at least 5 times. Great movie!!!👍

[@jukesd1597]

❤Amazing Story!♥️ G-d Bless the good Monsignor and all those who helped him, along with all those who continue his legacy. A story much like David and King Saul, David could have acted in bitterness but chose mercy. A man with a heart after G-d!

What a remarkable Priest He understood what it meant to truly be, what a Servant of God should be.

I'm Irish love this film,the accent not bad,a country accent, I'm a dubliner but we can talk like the country people, we have many accents in Ireland the good auld paddy looking out for the world, I hope that people see this film and think of there actions that hurt our fellow human beings and stop the violence around the world

[@johncahalane7327]

But did you know Gregory Peck was related by blood on his mother's side to Thomas Ashe who died while on hungerstrike in Mountjoy Prison in 1917 ...

[@sgabig]

I believe this film was made for an American audience - & Peck is using a stereotypical Irish accent that Americans would recognize - I'm surprised it's anywhere close to any kind if real Irish accent

[@richardcutt727]

Great movie. Gregory Peck had a real screen presence.

[@kellyraffaele171]

Absolute brilliance!!! Possibly up there as one of the greatest films I have ever seen. Incredible cast.

[@shobamathew1645]

What a beautiful story of courage, love , forgiveness and compassion

[@bhgtree]

As an Irish person Msr. O'Flaherty was a hero of mine since seeing this film first in he 80's, a man of faith, courage and charity.

[@f.l.fargose6446]

Every once in a while ' there's a great man/woman born to teach us compassion, forgiveness, and self-sacrifice. These were the values Christ taught. ' Good' in man is not totally lost... What Monsieur O'flaherty did to save somany was outstanding. May God reward him heavenly bliss 🙏 Thank you for the upload.

The Chief Rabbi of Rome who was a close friend of Pope Pius XII became a Catholic as he was so inspired by his friend and the example he set......

[@eugenekohsj]

Yes.. He even took on the name of the Pope, Eugenio as his baptism name. Cool...

What a great performance from two legends. Thank God for brave men like the Monsignor. Grateful for you posting this movie, I enjoyed it immensely.

[@teresagillespie6673]

Such a wonderful true story of courage and forgiveness. This movie shoud be shown noe in the times we live in. Ireland shoud be so proud of this grest hero Fr Hogh O Flaherty

[@margaretfinn9616]

Absolutely brilliant movie. The acting was first class and the true story an incredible account of courage and truth. Such a wonderful testimony of the goodness of God.

[@teresaramos1719]

Ohh. Goodness of god..are you talking about the same God that allowed all the atrocities to be performed by the nazis???? Hmmm

[@lestercabaltica5168]

Very powerful scene between Col. Kappler and Monsignor O'Flaherty at the party. "You listen to me priest...No you listen to me"...

[@sadie4538]

Yeah, love it! Too bad now too many bishops are canceling good holy priests. Lord have mercy!

[@joliecole5548]

Was a wonderful movie, I had not ever seen this movie, outstanding performance from two great actors, of course Gregory Peck is and always been my favorite.

[@josephineryan5271]

A great movie. I was so glad to watch it. The ending was so powerful and never expected. Thank you very much.

[@josephineryan5271]

I would like to recommend this great movie. One of the best classic film.

[@gordonnicol9542]

Such a superb film and, even more so now that I know it was a true story. Father O'Flaherty.......what an amazing human being ! Risking his life to save so many others. And, then we find out that he also saved Kappler's wife and children too ! Such courage, such passion such kindness. It's wonderful to hear that such precious people actually exist. Quite humbling to watch this excellent film.

[@maisondesalbertins]

This is a stunning movie, I enjoyed very much watching it without being interrupted by the advertising. A perfect example of the Catholic's battle against the Antichrist. What a courageous man risking his life with the faith and the guidance of God. One of my favourite powerful scenes was at 1:29:01 when Mon Seigneur O’Flaherty started to say to the Head of the Gestapo; “No, you, listen to me!” also the one at 1:00:13 sadly he was executed, but not by his people who respected the servant of God, then the most unexpected scene at 2:09:05. Thank you ever so much for having uploaded that film. Good Wishes to you All. God Bless you. A.

[@michaelbyrnee9584]

Let's not forget the RCC's collusion with the Nazis - with the help of "pius" XII. And let us not forget this movie is a fiction.

[@swastikausa]

according to someone i know who knew msr o flaherthy he confessed that for a brief time he was confessed to leave kepplers family to the slaughter because he hated him. but then he said he looked out awindow and saw some kids playing in a roman street and he thought if he did that he might as well put on a swastika.

[@annogrady3349]

An excellent film with amazing cast! 😊

[@Manalyar]

Absolutley wonderful! Never heard of before.. thanks for giving me the chance to enjoy watching this great film.. it is a brilliant example of humanity when it is not stained.

[@nickd7568]

I cried at the end. Knowing that Kappler converted at the hands of the Monsignor. God will not abandoned His people.

[@Jane-he4xx]

Excellent movie! Purely by coincidence I was in Cahersiveen in Co Kerry, Ireland at the weekend. This is the town where Fr Hugh O'Flaherty is buried. I wish I'd seen the movie before my visit as it would have meant so much more.

[@thepeskytraveller3870]

Still watching in 2023! I love this movie. Both Peck and Plummer did their roles great justice. Plummer wore and carried the uniform magnificently! So did Peck, when he used it in a disguise.

[@n1mogator]

Sure there has many commemts on this Great Movie , and my 2 cents is here as well thank GOD for People that stand up for freedome and human rights as a people of earth!!! \
