Fr. Angelo contends that The Nativity Story by New Line Cinema is a good Protestant film which was the intent of the film. His only question is why so many well educated Catholic movie reviewers are calling it a good *Catholic* film.

Filmed two years ago at NACEPF host John Primeau and Fr. Angelo Geiger, FI discuss how Mel Gibson’s movie “The Passion” helps us to know Christ. Starting with the question “do we really know Christ??? they discuss how the movie shows that Jesus is God and God is Love by portraying His super-abundant love that is willing and able to suffer unto death for our redemption and then rise from the dead. Fr. Angelo then discusses how we should show our gratitude by repenting and being willing to suffer with him and so participate in the redemption of all mankind, “taking up our cross daily and following him.?? The movie destroys the modern idea that suffering and love is opposed. Christ suffers out of love for us. The superabundance of Christ’s suffering shows the goodness of God and the wickedness of sin. All of which makes the movie one of the best means today for counteracting the lax morality that is destroying our society.

On the feast of the Holy Family, we present this talk by Fr. Angelo Geiger on the Perpetual Virginity of Mary and how it can help people to live the married life with the dignity that it deserves. Fr. Angelo addresses certain exaggerated forms of theology of the body that has become very popular, which fails to take into account our current fallen state and thus deviates from the true sense intended by Pope John Paul II. This talk was recorded at this time last year.

Fr. Angelo preaches the homily in the Chapel of Our Lady of the Missions at the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in DC on the morning of the Pro-life March. He focuses on the need to repent by expounding the message of Our Lady of America, an approved apparition of Our Lady in the 1950’s to Sr. Mary Ephrem of the Precious Blood Sisters in New Regal, OH, which says if America decides to be a promoter of morality, we will be greatly blessed, but if we fail in this most important mission then we will see disaster. A good first step, then, is to set a good example by putting an end to abortion in our own country. During the march the friars and tertiaries handed out thousands of prayer cards and medals of Our Lady of the Americas.
