St Francis Before the Pope - Clip 1 of 2

I'm not Catholic but the story of Saint Francis is a welcoming theme for all religious people to care for the poor and unfortunate of the Lord's children.

[@veramae4098]

I've never been able to reconcile the poverty of Jesus' teachings, and the glory of the Catholic church.

[@lisacup6876]

That was a Great Pope. This scene made me cry. He was overtaken by the presence of Christ in St. Francis's eyes. Great acting too:)

[@partschmidt]

Actually, there's a whole century between Francis' visit to the Pope and the moving of the Holy See to Avignon (1309). During the reign of Pope Innocent III the papacy was at the height of its powers, and he was considered to be the most powerful person in Europe at the time.

[@judychurley6623]

And the church depicted is in neither Rome or Avignon, but Sicily, Monreal Cathedral.

[@billymarino4452]

@@judychurley6623 I knew the church obviously wasn't in Rome but I always felt it was too "Byzantine/Greek" in style to be a true Roman church. Sicily had a lot of Greek influence so it's no wonder their churches heavily represent that. The Christ Pantocrator gave it away.

[@crusaderACR]

@@billymarino4452 Yes, Roman Rite got a really different vibe. More statues, less icons and, whatever paintings there are, are all depictions of biblical scenes. I really like the Byzantine rite but I'm biased to the Roman one haha. I guess it's similar to how some Anglosaxons prefer Anglican Use. It's connected to each one's culture.

[@EmptyMan000]

Trying to imitate people is just a sad attempt at being a wannabe and no how matter how much one tries, they can never really be like the original. Imitating someone who died will not create a better world.

[@TheCoolProfessor]

EmptyMan000 There's a huge difference between imitating someone and learning by example.

[@EmptyMan000]

Indeed, though it seems like many don't know that or just aren't aware that they are just being wannabes instead of just learning by example. By the way, doing either hasn't exactly worked out so far based on the fact the modern day still has the problems present from the past. Jesus, saints, and other religious figures just aren't effective at solving worldly problems. Only good for helping people live in fantasy worlds, delusions, and spitting platitudes while offering no conclusive results.

He didn't drop the scroll with his address to the Pope because he had difficulty reading. He dropped it because, after seeing the people in the Papal Court, he realized they needed to hear something else.

[@wilwondersnevercease]

@MonoKulen - I don't know what church (or other building) in Rome the meeting between the Pope and Francis was historically supposed to have taken place in. However, St. Peter's Basilica in Rome was first built during the reign of the emperor Constantine in the 4th century. That first church was essentially torn down and re-built in the 16th century --- that's the building one sees today. l The set for this scene in the movie is the Cathedral of Monreale on Sicily.

In front of the church is the statue of St. Francis entering the papal church, the main church where the pope have had been situated. The building you are referring to, is papal palace next to the Lateran church, that was rebuild as you said so. That I've heard from our guide, and I saw with my own eyes :)

@lambdavi yep. the dateline is wrong with this movie.

[@Etobicoke67]

It is interesting how Francis repeated Jesus' words which were quotes from his Yeshiva founder Rabbi Hillel's words which are part of the Oral Torah about how to please G-d by saying that the summary of the Torah is to love the L-rd your G-d with all your ❤️🧠&💪/💰, love others as yourself, do not treat others how you do not want others to treat you". Jesus missed out the words "...the rest is commentary, go and learn." Francis' words in this scene are also in the Oral tradition or written down in the Talmud after Rome murdered so many, it was feared to be lost. The same fear forced the followers of Jesus to write down the various versions of his story and Paul's personal experience because of Roman persecution. Jesus criticism was not of Torah observance, but a valid criticism of any humans who use spiritual insights into how to live as our Father in heaven made us to live, in order to control or abuse others...

Marlon Brando was going to win the Best Leading Actor Oscar that year no matter who they put him up against. But Graham Faulkner should have been nominated at least. The moment he ceases to read the paper his friend designed to save his life and quotes what the Spirit has given him is so powerful. At this point Francesco no longer cares what might happen to him. All that matters is he speak the words of Jesus boldly and without hindrance-and Faulkner nails this. He plays Francis as a holy fool who may be eccentric in some ways but has a beautiful heart filled with a sincere love and respect for God and humanity.

[@faunwillow]

❤It wasn't, as certain 1970s movies would have it, because he was a nature-loving hippie (although I do love Donavan's soundtrack, especially the theme song). It was because the human beings he was preaching to wouldn't listen. He had wanted to preach the word of God in Rome, but when he arrived there, the people scorned him because he was dressed poorly, so they thought him an idiot. He tried for several days to gain their attention, but could not overcome their hardness of heart. "I grieve deeply over your misfortune," he told them, "because you are not only spurning me as a servant of Christ, but you are also really despising Him in me, since I have been preaching to you the Gospel of the Redeemer of the world. And so I am now leaving Rome. And I call as witness of your desolation Him who is the faithful Witness in heaven. And for your confusion I am going to preach the Gospel of Christ to the brute animals and the birds of the sky, so that by hearing the soul-saving words of God they may obey and have peace." At which, the people of Rome drove him from the city. Preaching to the birds was far from the most outrageous thing Francis did. Another time when he was in Rome to see the pope to get approval for his Rule, the pope looked at Francis in his "ill-fitting robe," with his "ugly face, long beard, disheveled hair, and overhanging black eyebrows," and couldn't believe that Francis, an unknown "nobody," could possibly be a servant of God--or even a human being. "Brother," Pope Innocent rebuked him, "go find some pigs--to which you should be compared rather than to men--and roll in the mud with them. And take the Rule you have made to them--and give them the benefit of your preaching!" So, of course, Francis did. He bowed his head, went out into the street, found some pigs, and rolled with them in the mud until he was completely covered with it. Then he went back inside, presented himself to the pope, and said, "Lord, I have done what you ordered. Now please listen to my petition. ❤❤❤❤
