I guess I am known as a pretty harsh movie critic, but I really don’t think it’s that hard to make a Catholic movie. The problem is that nearly every “saint” movie since A Man for All Seasons (1966) and The Passion of the Christ (2004) has turned out to be a shill for the heresy of religious indifferentism (the notion that all religions can get you to heaven.) The acting is usually poor in most “Catholic” movies of the last decade. The theology is even worse.>I happily suffered for Christ in getting publicly shamed for standing against the blasphemies in that horrible streaming series called The Chosen. As I stated before, many people once-baptized Catholic enjoyed this series because they had never been taught how to pray mental prayer by priests.>Learning the Gospels from the Fathers is one reason I put out my long series on YouTube called VLX—a hundred hours of theology on the Gospel of St. Matthew teaching you mental prayer and how to meditate. If my site or Substack is too negative for you, go listen to my podcasts. They’re more positive. (Also, notice I don’t just complain about priests not teaching mental prayer. I try to teach it myself on that series.)
