Catholic Fire

The highly anticipated “Heaven is for Real” movie, based on the true story of Colton Burpo, who visited heaven during a near-death experience, will be released in theaters on April 16, 2014.

This trailer presents the first 10 minutes of the Catholic Radio and Television Network - documentary "A Hidden Life." With the coming to power of the Communists in Bulgaria, religious communities became increasingly oppressed. Continuously controlled, continuously observed the sisters were subject to ever more intimidating interrogations and ruder searches. Some of them, such as the Carmelites, awaited prison sentences. In 1948 the authorities started to confiscate Church run schools, convents and orphanages, forcing the sisters to move to a hidden life in tucked away corners such as choir lofts or abandoned buildings. This is the story of how two religious communities, the Carmelites and the Eucharistine Sisters, survived this time. H/T: The Anchoress

From Padre Steve : This preview is a good intro to what looks to be a very interesting film. If the world's demographic trends continue we are in for a very difficult time. People of faith have to pray that we live out our lives joyfully and filled with hope. Too many people today sadly live without hope. Watch the trailer and look for the film! The following is from the lifesite news: While the world focuses its energies and its fears on a purported global-warming crisis, a new, not-yet-released documentary claims that if there is any global crisis, it is not global warming, ut rather demographic winter. As the website for Demographic Winter: The Decline of the Human Family, explains, the phrase "'Demographic Winter' denotes the worldwide decline in birthrates, also referred to as a 'birth-death,' and what it portends."
