Pope's Call Answered in Th?r?se

How refreshing to see the topic of pro-Catholic movies (“Anti-Catholic Films Meet Their Match”) addressed in your Aug. 8-14 issue, as well as a much-needed discussion of the popular anti-Catholic trend in movie-making from Hollywood. What dismayed me a great deal, however, was your final analysis in your own editorial, questioning the future of pro-Catholic movies and your “hope that a new generation will yet answer his (the Pope's) call.” Hello! This call has been answered!

How come no mention was made of Luke Films’ Oct. 1 release of the pro-Catholic movie Thérèse? The Register has, over recent years, generously tracked the making of this movie, to include a page–one interview with actor/director Leonardo Defilippis, various ads for the movie, as well as articles on the lead actress portraying St. Thérèse. The work of Luke Films has even been featured in your “Weekly Video Picks.”

Perhaps part of the problem of the promotion of quality Catholic media lies within our own Catholic world, our own media, and/or the tendency to forget?
