    ★½

    Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, "What do you seek?" John 1:38

    I was really hopeful for this movie and left super disappointed. It very well may accurately capture a pentecostal church, but it just disturbed me.

    If this is what my Church preached I think I'd hate God. Everything this Pentecostal/charismatic church proclaims is the antithesis of the gospel message. It spews the prosperity gospel(aka wealth, health, and prosperity gospel), which even Catholics(myself included), have fallen prey…

    Considering this movie is pretty suspenseful, it was difficult for me to give it my full attention a second time around.

    Cardinal Benitez's speech is just so good. He serves up humble pie, reminding us all to get off our moral high horse. Look at your own heart and how well you show love to those in your own life before you…
