Documenting the journey of Marcel Lefebvre
From Rorate caeli:
... regardless of where you stand on the current situation of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), this film will at bare minimum be entertaining, and a solid look at history -- but not in the way you may think.
The first half of the film really has little to do
directly with the current crisis. It's more of a history of how the Church, led
by Father, Bishop and Archbishop Lefebvre, made Christianity -- and society --
flourish in French West Africa. The interviews with priests, nuns and the laity
whom were around during his time are both compelling, and historically
important.
At one hour and 43 minutes, the film leaves you wanting
for more. For those of you that didn't live through the troubling days of 1988,
with its decisive and enduring consequences, or were too young to notice, you
especially should consider watching. That goes for those who are pro, anti, and
just not sure what to make of the current situation.
