St. Therese


Forget the movie. Read her autobiography instead,"Story of a Soul". Much better experience, and it will give you an understanding of why she is a saint and a doctor of the church. A good read for those of all faiths. It is very inspiring and personal.

I tried wearing a Carmelite scapular for one day. I would rather be water boarded.

As a Catholic I find your post sarcastic, inappropriate and even insulting...

For the average person (someone like me who is not a Theologian, etc.), the movie is fine - Pope John Paul II (now himself on the road to sainthood) gave his endorsement after seeing it, so I'd take the word of a saint or future saint any day...

Dear Glades2:

As a former TOC. Illness prevents me from the required meetings. I agree with you.

As some may not know John Paul II was a TOC.

Artistically the film could have been much better; but Defillipis tried.
