Fr. Barron comments on "Agora" (video)

  1. Not quite right, Father. Your skirt is showing.

    The movie and the DVD particularly relate a story of religion as it is used by the political powers and how this can destroy the innocent and the reasonable. This is exactly the story of our time and this not only applies to Christians, but Muslims, Jews and others. The movie is essentially a correct telling even if the discovery of the heliocrentric model and the merciful death by smothering are fictional.


    Yes the danger of formenting violence and feeding the popularity of atheism is there, but that is because sensible discussions of the film are not held. In fact, we do as you are doing and mischaracterize out of your fears when in fact this movie is an excellent if heartbreaking stimulus to informed discussion.

    I am a Christian and a composer and I believe the Church can do better.
