[@63bplumb]

I made a sort of pilgrimage to Assisi many years ago. Before the sadness of the great earthquakes. Toured both the church of St. Francesco and St. Clare. The original chapel in the valley San Damiano where the Lord spoke to him. Very moving and has never left me.

[@63bplumb]

Interesting to revisit this piece (both) and read the comments. Clearly the commentors are impressed by the apocryphal presentation and the impossible dialogue to confirm versus a comment of actual visitation and the heart felt movement of the soul by someone that appreciates the life of St. Francis. Yes, St Francis and a few of his followers met with the Church. The record of what was said has been lost to antiquity. Rome (The Church) would not and did not welcome them and they were at odds for a Very long time.

[@st.michaelthearchangel7774]

@@howtubeable This theology applies to any generation. If we have eyes of purity we can see it, but this is a grace from God. The pope saw the innocence and simplicity of St. Francis, so this is why he said it. Any man or woman can achieve this innocence and purity, but it requires we interiorlly detach ourselves completely from the world and sin, and have our heart set out completely for Jesus. It's the only way.

Tthe interpretation of Alec Guinness is superb,extraordinary,very intense although short. It's the true perl of the film, the climax of it and it would have deserved the Oscar for best supporting actor. Not even Laurence Olivier would have interpreted better a great Pope as Innocent III.

[@ZuccaEZagara]

Indeed. "Fun" fact: I was in trouble with choosing his Hindi dubber. My first choice was Sunil Nagar, whom I've seen as Pitamah ( =Grandsire) Bhishma in Ramanand Sagar's Shri Krishna, but as it turned out that he was non-cooperative (I assume he's atleast bipolar), I had to investigate again. If I hadn't chosen Rajpal Premi for Pietro di Bernardone, I don't know what the heck would happen to the Hindi dubbing. Because Raj has unwillingly (by a Facebook post) reminded me of another serial in which he played: it was Sanjay Khan's Jai Hanuman where he had the title role. I checked out the cast, browsed all the actors in senior roles - and found Sudhir Dalvi, who was Sage Valmiki 2.0 in the serial. An interview with him was the proof that he's an even more authentic counterpart of Sir Alec Guinness than Sunil. I've given a big thanks to Raj for his outstanding social capital, which always keeps some first aid for the werk progress. He's an unreplaceable part of the dubbing cast. Phalguni Parikh / Pica also confirmed that I've chosen the new Pope well because Sudhirji was a very sober man.

[@alondraperez-ramirez8363]

And even more meaningful when you remember that Sir Alec converted to Catholicism.

[@Tout-Le-Monde02]

@@alondraperez-ramirez8363 You mean the same Catholic church that burned thousands as witches, sold indulgences to finance the St Peter's basilica, the church that went against the Nicene creed to pronounce the superiority of the Pope over all other bishops, the church that sanctified mass conversion of Mayan and Inca people through genocide, maintained armies and actively participated in the 30 Years War in Europe, resulting in thousands of deaths?

[@mytruepower2]

When the pope is wrapped in those robes, the way that he closes his eyes in resignation makes them almost seem like chains. I think, perhaps, that for holy men like him, wealth and authority are burdens. However, for a truly holy man, no burden is too great to undertake in the service of God. And yes. There is such a thing as original sin. It was the first of five covenants with God, broken by the decision of a man.
