3. Gandhi: This movie was among the top 45 films chosen by the Vatican to celebrate the 100th anniversary of film. I think it is a good choice for fallen-away Catholics because it depicts many Christian values, particularly a vision of justice and peace that is appealing and in line with Catholic teaching. It also shows the life of someone who lived for something beyond himself, and although he was not Catholic, this could actually be a positive because sometimes fallen-away Catholics are more open to stories of spirituality and holiness that are outside their realm of experience. Less baggage.
I disagree vehemently with this choice. I saw much of this movie, and seeing Gandhi beating his wife was very upsetting to me.
And of course him refusing British doctors to give his wife the penicillin injection she needed because he said it was doing violence to her body but then much later after she died accepted quinine to save himself. The hypocrite the Liberal Left loves. And there’s more, so much more on this guy.
