Father John Paul Erickson joins Patrick to discuss Spiritual Movies
(4:06) what are the dangers of movies the spiritual life
Father shares a movie which he really enjoys
(13:52) Sean - The Adventures of Robinhood from 1938. It's a very Catholic movie. Had a good impression on my life. Saw it when I was 6.
Greg – Nefarious outstanding movie. Certain groups played it off as a horror film. It's good vs. evil. Some have avoided it because it deals with evil. The guy who did it also did God is Not Dead. One priest said every priest should see it for giving advice for confession.
Mark - Calvary...Irish Film. 10 years old. About a priest who really lays down life for his flock.

(22:47) Break 1
John - Of Gods and Men...French film. About monks serving souls in north Africa. Based on a true story.
Barb - The Shack...about what it's like to be God and sacrifice your son. It shows God sacrificed his son as this guy sacrificed his daughter. Bring your tissues.
(29:50) Nels - The Last Supper....newly released film.  Emphasis on Judas in that movie.
Miriam - 7th Heaven...1930's.  Star5ring Jimmy Stewart. Unlikely love story ever told. Mention of God in the movie. He's an atheist and then things happen. My favorite movie.

(35:43) Break 2
Roland - Journey to Bethlehem....nativity story.  Silence...the story of the Japanese Martyrs. Ignition Martyrs
(39:16) Matt - Beckett, and the Cardinal.  Excommunication scene in Beckett is most powerful scene.  The Cardinal being more recent. Pope Benedict was advisor for this movie. Came out when V2 was written.
Patrick shares some movie recommendation from listeners who write in.
Roxanne - The Most Reluctant Convert...untold story of CS Lewis.  Very good.
(43:02) Jean - King of Kings...1925. It's a silent movie and beautiful.
Eric - The Scarlet and the Black. Based off the Scarlet Pimpernel. Hides thousands of Jews during WWII. I think it's a must see.
