NCR: "Bella and Beyond"

This Oct. 26 will see the crucial opening weekend of a new movie, Bella. The film is being celebrated as a triumph for Latino filmmakers, and for independent filmmakers. Catholics have another reason to celebrate — and support it. This movie gives us hope that Catholics can reclaim territory we used to own, but have too often ceded: The arts.

Communicating about God through art has always been a Catholic specialty.

  2. I went to a "Hollywood Insider Event" at an Evangelical Church in VA, where they said as much. Catholics have always supported the arts since Michelangelo, because of the sacramental nature of Catholicism. We understand the power of the visual, which is what films are.
