Pope Francis, A Man of His Word --- Wim Wenders film

Recently, we went to see this documentary.

Boy what a contrast in Pope Francis and our Jester in Chief.  Sort of like night and day, and the Pope comes out on the DAY side.

We have always enjoyed Wim's films, he did a fantastic job with this one.  This is not your usual run of the mill documentaries - what was interesting is that Wim had complete control of editing it, and what a great job he did.

One feels as if one is sitting directly across from "Papa" - he speaks directly to the camera, so he appears to be speaking directly to the viewer.  

Viewing him as an "ordinary" person, not full of pomp and bluster, he touches people, literally in the film, as well as the viewer's heart.  

My husband just can't quit talking about the Pope, and currently I am reading a novel based on the Pope -The Delight of Being Ordinary - after seeing the film I can visualize him doing a "walkabout" as is the theme of the book.

I still get goose bumps thinking about Pope Francis not only washing the feet of a prisoner, but getting down on his knees and kissing the feet.  And his reaction to the many deaths of migrants trying to reach the freedoms offered by European countries.  His belief in that WE ALL are STEWARDS of the earth and should be taking care of it.

Well worth seeing.👍👍👍👍
