Castel Gandolfo, Italy, Sep 2, 2009 / 04:10 pm (CNA).- Pope Benedict XVI will attend a special screening of the new television miniseries, Augustine, The Decline of the Roman Empire, based on the life of the doctor of the Church and bishop of Hippo, this afternoon in the Swiss Hall at Castel Gandolfo.
According to LOsservatore Romano, the screening of the miniseries will take place at 5:30pm local time.
Christian Duguay, who directed the series, also directed the films Joan of Arc and The Art of War.
French actor Franco Nero plays an elderly St. Augustine, while Alessandro Preziosi plays the saint as a youth. Augustines mother, St. Monica, is played by Monica Guerritore.
The miniseries is part of the Imperium project by the Italian production company Lux Vide, which is also planning a remake of Ben Hur. Duguay, together with other American filmmakers, will produce the new version.

Odd ... how the Bible isn’t the source of “unity” amongst Christians. Imperfect mortals are not to whom God wants us to look for “unity”. It is to the Bible, God’s Word that gives Christians “unity”.
Flame away!

Jesus is the unifier between the Western and Eastern churches.
And the word of God, the Bible.
Also, Paul’s letters to the western and eastern churches (e.g. look at the differences between the letter to the Romans versus the letter to the Colossians) are also the unifier.

Uh, with all due respect, many of Augustine's teachings such as original sin are not accepted by Orthodox Christians.
Seems a strange source for unity.

Seems to me, Kolokotronis has had few kind words for the Bishop of Hippo, especially regarding Original Sin.
