Please my seeming obtuseness, topher, but he was and is a Catholic saint. Do you mean that the film is made from a viewpoint other than Catholic, or are you trying to ensure that our separated brethren understand that they should see this?

Augustine is an important Father of the Early Christian Church.

It is my opinion the movie has merit for all Christians.

I am just concerned that some may be turned away by the fact the movie is being promoted by mainly Catholic organizations.

I do not think the movie is a Catholic movie

I since the movie has merit for all Christians, I do not want to see people be turned away by this.

His book Confessions is just as important to Baptists, Orthodox, Protestants, etc, as well as Catholics because it shows the forgiveness and salvation for hardened sinners.

And that is what the movie is based on -- the Confession of Augustine [of Hippo]

Augustine lived a pagan life for many years and even fathered a child out of wedlock.

He also became a Bishop in the Roman Catholic Church.
