Vatican City, Sep 3, 2009 / 10:39 am (CNA).- On Wednesday afternoon Pope Benedict attended a screening of a film on St. Augustine. Reacting to the movie, the Holy Father noted that at the end of his life, St. Augustine’s world seemed to be crumbling around him. But because the saint’s message was about the Truth, that is, Jesus, his message will remain until the end of time.
The film, called simply “St. Augustine,” is an Italian, German, Polish co-production. The film was made by Lux Vide/Rai Fiction, Bayerischer Rundfunk/Tellux Film, Eos Entertainment Rai Trade and Grupa Filmova Baltmedia. It was directed by Christian Duguay.
At the end of the screening, the Holy Father expressed his thanks to everyone involved in the project and pronounced some brief remarks. “I feel this film to be a spiritual journey in a spiritual continent, far distant from us yet at the same time very near because the human drama remains the same,” he said.
