- Mark Wahlberg and Mel Gibson share a few thoughts on what makes a good “faith” movie as we discuss their excellent new film, "Father Stu." After that we get the lowdown on the real Father Stu from his friend and fellow priest Father Bart Tolleson.

I am Buddhist and it was quite inspiring, uplifting and a story of faith that everyone can relate to. Totally recommended to everyone.
So it was explained to me years ago that Buddhism followers are in fact atheists? Believe in nature as their guiding spirit? The Indians, American type, are similar in their reverence to nature but they believe in a supreme being, and spirits. It’s the Hindu faith that believes in reincarnation but they believe in God as far as I know. I am Catholic for the record.
Maybe it will inspire you to come to the faith of Jesus Christ?
You are a son of Jesus/God no matter actual religion. He excepts everyone to or back to the faith.
The non-Catholic Antipope John Paul II and his Vatican II sect would have you stay in your false religion.
Antisaint John Paul II the Great Wretch, General Audience, Jan. 11, 1995: “I gladly take this occasion to assure those who follow the Buddhist religion of my deep respect and sincere esteem.”
“Cardinal” Joseph Ratzinger [the future Antipope Benedict XVI], Co-Workers of the Truth, 1990, p. 217: “The question that really concerns us, the question that really oppresses us, is why it is necessary for us in particular to practice the Christian Faith in its totality; why, when there are so many other ways that lead to heaven and salvation, it should be required of us to bear day after day the whole burden of ecclesial dogmas and of the ecclesial ethos. And so we come again to the question: What exactly is Christian reality? What is the specific element in Christianity that not merely justifies it, but makes it compulsorily necessary for us? When we raise the question about the foundation and meaning of our Christian existence, there slips in a certain false hankering for the apparently more comfortable life of other people who are also going to heaven. We are too much like the laborers of the first hour in the parable of the workers in the vineyard (Mt. 20:1-16). Once they discovered that they could have earned their day’s pay of one denarius in a much easier way, they could not understand why they had had to labor the whole day. But what a strange attitude it is to find the duties of our Christian life unrewarding just because the denarius of salvation can be gained without them! It would seem that we - like the workers of the first hour - want to be paid not only with our own salvation, but more particularly with others’ lack of salvation. That is at once very human and profoundly un-Christian.”
Jesus says preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:16) and that those who do not believe are condemned. The Vatican II sect condemns this which is obviously heresy.
Antipope Francis, April 30, 2015, Discourse to Cursillos movement: “One thing I would like to say to your Movement: you have not proselytized! This is a virtue...”
Antipope Francis, August 7, 2013, Video message for the feast of St. Cajetan: “Do you need to convince the other to become Catholic? No, no, no!”
The true Catholic Church says that her teachings must be believed and that those who deny them are alien to her.
Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum (# 13), June 29, 1896: “You are not to be looked upon as holding the true Catholic faith if you do not teach that the faith of Rome is to be held.”
Pope Leo XIII, Dec. 8, 1892: “Everyone should avoid familiarity or friendship with anyone suspected of belonging to masonry or to affiliated groups. Know them by their fruits and avoid them. Every familiarity should be avoided, not only with those impious libertines who openly promote the character of the sect, but also with those who hide under the mask of universal tolerance, respect for all religions...”
Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum (# 9), June 29, 1896: “The practice of the Church has always been the same, and that with the consenting judgment [i.e. consensus] of the holy fathers who certainly were accustomed to hold as having no part of Catholic communion and as banished from the Church whoever had departed in even the least way from the doctrine proposed by the authentic Magisterium.”
I am a devout Catholic and I loved it. Very sad at the end yet when he was ordained it was a great moment. He is in Heaven for sure. Great to see Mel Gibson back on screen. Can’t wait for sequel to the Passion. I do think that some films like King Of Kings and Jesus of Nazareth were important so those that are not of our faith know the entire history.
My respect for Mark went up a few notches. And very exciting when he reveals that there will be more high end faith based movie as Fr Stu. Will pray for Mark and his ongoing journey 🙏✝️
We went last evening and WE ALL LOVED IT!!! We laughed and cried laughed and cried throughout the film…..
I had my doubts before seeing it and to be honest, we didn’t want to get up from our seats after the film, we wanted to stay there and see more of it…. We were all stuck in our seats the entire film!!!! And stayed about 10 minutes after to pray….. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!
💪🏻💪🏻🕯🕯🕯👍🏻👍🏻

Can't wait to watch this film. Before I imagine someone should make a film about Father Donald Calloway, his dark and God-less past and how the Blessed Virgin Mary converted him to the Faith. I think making Father Stu has achieved this. An answered prayer on my part. 🙏
Father Donald Calloway has become rather boring. He has lost his edge and has become rather blasé, soft, and effeminate, in my opinion.
@@keepers...
I totally disagree with you.
Fr. Donald Calloway spent many years maturing into his adult role as a priest, who has done great things for the Church and her people!
God bless Fr. Calloway! 🌹
Very true, didnt he run drugs for the Japanese mafia? Another priest fit for a movie would be father Isaac Reyla, he had an absolutely crazy life in gangs and that. Theres a story of how 3 guys with blades were trying to kill him and he beat them all.
Fr Corapi too, in a different way
@@keepers... I apologize if I am being offensive to anyone.
Father Donald Calloway’s only focus is our
G❤️d. He is on the right path if there are some of us who consider him boring.
I’ve had the great honor to meet Fr Calloway & he is completely humble & incredibly kind.
I pray some day as to be as boring & soft as Fr Calloway has become, so then I may know too, I am not attached to earthly things.
I was just thinking that also, his conversion story was just beautiful also and would be so great in film and inspire our young people . We are never too far from God's grace. Thanks be to God
I absolutely LOVE THIS MOVIE! I just finished watching it and had to jump on RUclips to comment on all the trailers. It was hysterical and had me in tears 😭. Haven’t seen a movie this good in such a long time. Thank God the story was told with rawness, cursing, rated R because any other way would have been fake. Praying for a HUGE success at the box office 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Unfortunately ordinary life in our current culture is filled with these elements of crass language and godless living. Father Stu said in an interview, he went to church for the first time and saw a stained glass window with an angel with a sword standing over a red man...he new so little about Christianity that he didn't even know about the devil ! This fits with people today, who think Genesis is a rock band and nothing else! Hopefully this movie will help swing the culture out of satan's corner and back to living in the light of God, just as the transforming of Fr.Stu's life!
I saw this last evening !!!!! Loved it !!! This true story shows how God uses people who you would never imagine . Just like the Bible. How this man ended up loving Jesus and Mary. It really touched me !! 🙏❤️
I watched it today and loved it very much. I laughed, cried a few times and it brought hope to my heart. Well done Mark Wahlberg and team
Delia, Fr. Stu would be so happy to know that, in his small way, that you have an increase in Hope. He wanted everyone to have that hope in Jesus and redemption.
Is this movie in theaters, how can I see it?
@@carolynmscotti827 yes, it's in theaters now. It opened on April 13th, I believe. I hope you can see it soon. I've also heard that there may be a documentary on Fr. Stu in the near future, which I'm praying for. The movie was mostly about "Stu", and a bit about Fr. Stu, and that's what I want to see more of. His ministry as a deacon and Priest is so important to know. He had such an amazing and loving way about reaching everyone he spoke with. I wish I had more time with him as our Priest...I'm sure everyone feels the same.
An amazing movie, redemptive suffering and the fruits of grace, peace, joy and the love of God through both Fr. Stu and how Mark Wahlberg's decision to make this movie. God bless you all!
I really enjoyed these interviews! Very good video. I love that you interviewed someone who knew him in real life. It really gives nuance.
May God bless you and everyone you spoke to in this video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for listening 👍
That movie is SO GOOD and such a blessing! I attended Carroll while Fr. Stu was ministering in Helena and had a chance to meet him. He was such an inspiring man. I highly recommend that people see this movie. Fr. Bart, thank you for the blessing. I felt it through the video ten days after it was posted.
I loved the movie, it was straight forward, no walking thru the daises , it was a knock out (no pun) reveals the love God has for everyone! Thank you Mark Wahlberg with pushing forward with this movie ! Yes language was shocking but so was the conversion of Fr. Stu . 🙏🏼
That is how Saints are developed. Bad language has always been a laughing matter to many people. It is what we make of our life that counts. 🙏💞
I thought Mark’s performance was Oscar-worthy. Great movie. Even better if you’re Catholic. But so happy to know that anyone, spiritually inclined or not, can be inspired by it.
This interview was woth watching too!
I look forward to seeing this movie, and continue to be impressed with Mark & Mel!
I watched this movie, what an amazing gift. I loved it to the end, I am greatful to God and my faith. Hats of to all very well done.
My high school religion teacher converted to Catholicism and was probably the finest and most devout Priest I have known.
That is wonderful 🙏🏴
Fr Stu, made it to Hollywood after all!
The film taught me as much about Mark Wahlberg as it did about Father Stu. Bravo!
Just saw this movie with my family. Well done! My teens loved it! Thank you!
Glad I stumbled on this Utube channel and "wicked awsum" (boston talk) interview. Cy you did yourself well and brought up some great questions and topics regarding the Catholic faith on where its been and where it is heading. Fr. Bart did such a great job in describing Father Stu's life and transformation. I am so psyched now to see this movie and to see how a typical troubled Boston city kid can portray and show how a person like Father Stu can change for the better and then lead by example...!! Get the buttered popcorn going and don't forget the Milkduds...I haven't been to the movies in years...Will check in after the movie with my review..!
This movie was so good I want to see it again. I'm sure I missed something. Hits in the feelz.
One of the best interviews with Mr. Wahlberg ever! Keep up the good work, CAFD! God bless!
Very much enjoyed these interviews! Can't wait to see the movie and pray my fallen away family will watch it.
Please continue to pray for those who watch the film, all your hard work will bare much fruit. And if it does revert anyone in my family, you will be hearing from me, and you'll have another movie to make. God Bless and thankyou!
The amazing grace of GOD. Thank you God that you have given us boundaries to follow but even more your forgiveness that our own IGNORANCE still hurts us Bc u have given us free will …. We have GODS love to bring us back to eternity! The greatest blessing!!!!! We All want that !!! The Peace that surpasses all understanding! Be STILL! GOD IS NOT DEAD!!!!Hallelujah !!!!
Cy & Mark Wahlberg, two former Dorchester boys choppin it up. Magnificent!
Thank you so much for this podcast, love from Pakistan.
This movie was SUPERB!! I've been telling EVERYONE - GO SEE IT!!!!
I knew Stuey in his youth he loved to fight but was a nice guy . Never connected with him in his later years I left the Catholic church many years ago but remained close to my Christianity but sure wish I'd got to know Stu in his faithful years . Great job , great story & great works ! Great soundtrack too !!!
My only child who was 10 yr old died last two weeks and I'm currently in so much pain that I can't explain. Watched this movie and it helps me feel better.
🙏🙏
Very sorry for your loss,she's definitely with God.
Raeli, our hearts go out to you, you precious person, ❤
Excellent interview I watched the whole thing.
I am Muslim, and the movie has a very good story. It just shows to have faith and allot of basic things are very similar to Islam. And honestly he must have been such a great person. The whole acceptance of what is happening in your life, it shows how God tests us, and make us become closer to the faith.
Please forgive me for my long comment, probably should have submitted it to a newspaper, instead of potentially causing your computer screen to lag.
Father Stuart Long reminds me a whole lot of 2 Archdiocese of Cincinnati pastors: Father Dan Schuh and Father James Brooks.
Father James was Pastor of @St. Margaret of York Catholic Church, Loveland, OH. He wasn't like Father Stu in the former life, but he was very dynamic, full of energy. His homilies and sermons were loud, full of passion, and, if someone or the parish has his notes or transcripts, please post them for the world to see and be blessed by them. He was barely Pastor when he was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer, but what a legacy, what a gift he was and is!
Another gift of God is Father Dan. He was the Shepherd at St. Susanna's, Mason, OH; he more closely resembles Father Long.
Both were heavier men; both energetic and down to earth; both, if the film is correct, worked in grocery store environments. . .Father Dan was a manager at Kroger stores in the Beavercreek, OH area; both had a love for sharing humor. . .one can only imagine the Dad Jokes and Yogi Berraisms (Yogi Berra type sayings of wit, that which he was known for) exchanged at the lunch table. Both, for reasons of Providence we continue to reflect on, had muscular diseases.
I, to this day, could see the essentially quick decline of Father Schuh with ALS; he went from his figure, to losing many pounds and using a cane, to having a stool at Consecration, to the eventual motorized chair he said entire Liturgies in.
Yet like Helena's hero, all 3 lived his illness with God's Grace. They showed true, authentic death with dignity, the "Good Death" that invalidates all thought for euthanasia and assisted suicide. They continued their priesthood with a greater aura of Heaven, at times, in the heat of trial, resembling Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego with the Son of God in the furnace. All were filled with the Holy Ghost and the Joy that Completes.
Although I personally saw Fathers Dan and James (Father James was one of the 1st confessors I went to after over a decade away from the sacrament), I am forever impacted by them.
Should I ever be called and given the collar, the yoke of priesthood, may I be just as energetic, humble, simple, profound as those 3 holy musketeers.
Praise our God, our Jesus, for His priests and these 3 men, I pray are worthy of cult and Heaven. May their witnesses and stories always be remembered!
Aside, and I promise almost done here:
Father Dan Schuh was a husband, father, and grandfather before he was ordained. His wife, oddly enough, gave a kind of foreshadowing of the way he'd die of terminal illness; she had cancer yet she too was full of a peace this world could not give.
Clearly marriage makes the two the one flesh, for he no doubt took her as his wife and mentor of true, good death, embrace of Resurrection. I kid, but I'm also serious: I'd love to raise a family of my own and, if my wife did die before me, it's off to the seminary after the cemetery.
Better yet, may she die after me, years after I, first a husband, am ordained an Eastern Rite Deacon or priest.
And, with this I close, asking their intercession, praying for their salvation, and requesting Sts. John Vianney, John Chrysostom, Jerome, Augustine, Cyril & Methodias, Our Lady, Theotokos, and all saints and Angels to join us in our praise and petitions for our great, almighty God.
Thank you so much for these interviews, especially the one with Fr Tolleson.
The movie was so moving, Mark showed the struggle beautifully, ...the truck purrs like a kitten....as a man, as an American,, 😅🤣😂hilarious,, Mel and Mark thankyou, may God bless you and keep you, may he make his face to shine upon you both❤
Really enjoyed watching and listening to this. Excellent work. God bless.
All PRAISE to GOD for such a wonderful, inspiring Movie! Absolutely LOVED IT! May JESUS, MARY and JOSEPH Bless with movie with Success and inspire many to TRUST & Believe in the AWESOME MERCY of God!
Excellent Movie!!! It's a must watch!
Great movie. So true to life nothing in this movie was sugar coated. It’s life and everyone can relate to it.
Gonna try see it this Easter weekend...
Went to see yesterday!!!! AMAZING
Thank you Lord 🙏✝️😇
I can't wait to see it. I have to wait awhile though.
Excellent & moving story about real life! Saw it last nite. McMinnville, OR
from Dirk Diggler to Father Stu! what a transformation for Mark Wahlberg! hope this is the course Mark is going to stay on.
It sounded like it, from some of his comments!
My first thought was Marky Mark I forgot about that one.
@@loveandmercy9664 The Big Hit, lol
LOL Pel Gibson. Good interviews, Cy! Looking forward to the movie!
Very informative interviews. Looking forward to watching the movie in the Philippines!
Best quote is when something goes wrong in their life they would ask where is God? God is not lost, you are!
Faith in action. Good message for the Hollywood elites.
Can't wait to see this movie !!!!!
Please don't. The movie 'Father Stu' was rated R for language throughout. Imdb: "Sex & Nudity: moderate, Profanity: severe". That's about how 'Catholic' this movie is.
Good movie worth the time to watch!
I’m planning on seeing it. I already love the actors in it, can’t wait.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to tell which is Mel Gibson and which is Cy Kellett.
Lol, you're so right. : )
Well the annoying one is Cy
@@cafocus Annoyingly insightful, wry and pulchritudinous
Really impressed with Wahlbergs modesty
What I find interesting about people in 'general' is the difficulty/struggle with language or sexual situations, in a film. I personally, don't appreciate 'gratuitous' foul language/sexual situations in a film. If those things are in context, I have no problem at all but some do and I think those folks are missing the point of our lives; to learn and grow beyond 'this' existence. I have friends and family that would not view "Saving Private Ryan" why, because it was rated "R". Denying our reality is stunting our growth and cheats not only us; but God as well...
@@Iwas11 Agreed, taking the Lords name in vain IS serious (Ten Commandments). How the enemy has normalized the expression "Oh my _ _ _" it is SO blasphemous and will be atoned for if not repented. Just because many many people do cuss or swear, doesn't mean it's okay and not everybody either! God says it's wrong. Scripture says that it is wrong, examination of conscience does list cussing and swearing as a sin. The fact that the story depicts Fr. Stu's early life and bad habits is a fact and the movie showed his real life prior to his conversion, you don't condone the bad habit, you just thank God he had a conversion. In going to watch it, I would be prepared to cover my ears and pray in reparation but appreciate the powerful conversion!
Not everybody does swears either.
@@Iwas11 the Bible is rated R. Saul’s (St. Paul) conversion started Rated R - organizing murder parties. David’s story is rated R.
Art needs to show life with both all its warts -as well as the butterflies.
And saving private ryan was a load of lies put out by the (goblins) from the (hollywood) sewerpipe.
The movie 'Father Stu' was rated R for language throughout. Imdb: "Sex & Nudity: moderate, Profanity: severe". That's about how 'Catholic' this movie is.
Read the Bible. It has sex and nudity.
Go watch the movie … it’s excellent and real ✅✅
@@carolcisko6768 No, I don't like to listen to verbal excrements.
@@papuciowy1465 I am a devout catholic and LOVED this movie. I brought my dad who has had a hardened heart for many years. He hasn't gone to church in years. He saw this movie with me the other day and then asked me if he could go to church with me the next day. It affected him in such a great way and he was sitting next to me in church the next day. Never thought that could happen. 🙌
@@user-or1ye3iz6d Nice. Although it does not change what I wrote.
Mel Gibson’s amazing acting talents- wow …. All are great
I loved the movie as it gets real. No fakenes all real 💯
Really well done thank you.
Kinda funny talkin about the lauguage so much. I became a practicing Catholic about 7 months ago. I told my husband how the Catholic people don’t cuss and are generally positive in their speech. I told him that I like that and I want to talk like them. - Maria
Awesome video!!!
Powerful movie! must see!
I love the movie
Great film … very emotional
This movie and the faith based movies made by Gibson are also authentic because they really believe. we need more muscular male christianity if we are to see our sons grow in faith and stay in faith.
The critics are crapping on this movie but its hard to know if its just because its a faith based movie. The cheesy God's not Dead franchise kind of deserved the heavy criticsm. They're even giving Father Stu a lower rating than infidel which was a mess of a film in every way. Moonlight was adored by critics and its one of the most boring films. I'll watch this movie for myself.
You will love it
It was really great
What do critics know? Honestly, they are the most biased people. If it doesn't push their narrative, it doesn't matter if 9 of 10 average people were moved by it.
Agreeing with Father Tolleson about Suffering we are called to suffer with Christ in this life some of us to the point of death like his disciples and I would even say Father Stu Although Stu was not a martyr for Christ he died before his old age. I have Chrons disease at 53 years old and was having tremendous suffering with intense stomach pain accompanied with 15-20 bowel movements at a time for almost a whole year and this happened twice and both times I cried out to Jesus to please take me from this earth ............I would dread every night a this would happen when I would lay down to go to sleep and I would suffer all night long until the early hours of the morning. I just went into remission in early March of this year and God reminded me of Lazurus and told me that my illness was not meant for death but for his GLORY....as servants of CHRIST we must remember that it is our Job to reach this LOST sick world with the LOVE and Testimony of Jesus in the DARKEST of places like the brother said in the film........As servants of Jesus we have TARGETS on our backs which Satan will shoot his flaming arrows and we must yield the WORD of God, the Armour of God (Ephesians 6;2) to extinguish the flamming arrows of the Devil...........Have you Consider Gods Servant Heath????????? I am up for the task and no one has Suffered like Job if yall know that story in the Word..........peace and blessings in the New year Yall - !st corinthians 13 Brother Heath
I really want to this this movie.
Will it be on DVD???
It was such a beautiful movie!
Thanks Mark Walberg!
Mel is the best. Can't wait for The Resurrection to come out.
Why is there no more talk about the resurrection part 2 of the passion
Saving repentance is realizing that you are a sinner deserving of God's just punishment in Hell and turn (repent) from whatever you trusted in before, if indeed you trusted in anything; to trusting in the person and finished work of Christ alone for salvation.
Jesus is Lord God Almighty clothed in unsinful humanity and He is the author of eternal life to all who trust Him alone for salvation.
I couldn't help noticing that both Mark Wahlberg and Mel Gibson were scratching their right legs.... There must have been a nail or something in the chair, I paid attention to what they were saying, but I found that amusing.
For CA being as big as they are, i hope you would have better sound. I listen to plenty of independent RUclipsrs and they have way better sound and Catholic answers does. Please it needs to be louder
It's sounds like a cliche but I laughed, I cried, I learned.
Matthew 23:9-11 This passage only refers to clergy, not your earthly father, as Catholics are being told. God doesn't contradict Himself.
Oh definitely going to see Mel is never in a bad movie. Also I know Hollywood won’t like it. A positive movie about Catholic fath including Mr Mel Gibson. I have not really scene this promoted much either. In Hollywood they just have their award winners walk on stage and slap people if they don’t like what they said.
Great movie!
Planning on going soon.
Faith is the excuse that people give when they have no evidence.
Movie not screening anywhere in London, UK???
Thanks!
Stop with the language thing. People do use that language in any bar at any college That’s the way young people talk today I guess you live in a bubble. If I had to rate your interview from 1-10 you would be a 5. The movie was totally researched on Father Stu. It was true to who he was. It is not for children. Father Schmitt on his podcast made it clear this is not for kids. It’s rated R.
@@Iwas11 And who are you? Is there some valid reason you don't use your real name when posting.
@@Iwas11 You are a troll, I use my real name on all social media, your response makes no logical rational sense. Now I used to run LPI of St. Louis, a print Christian ad agency, that is verifiable. What is your religious background.
I get that, thank you..
I can see you like challenges Mark and you like pushing the envelope like you just did very successfully it seems with Fr. Stu. You also said you would like to keep producing Faith based movies. Here's an idea Mark,
A movie about the story of Saints Perpetua and Felicita. Not only would that be challenging to produce (you could also go the extra mile and use their original Latin language a la Mel Gibson!) BUT you could also bring the PRO-LIFE message on the screen in HOLLYWOOD (check out their story and you"ll see what I mean!) with that kind of movie. Now, if that is not CHALLENGING...I don't know what would!
I haven't seen the movie yet and i sure will, but but, I'm curious about why someone hasn't pursued making a Movie about, Father Richard Rohr? From what I'm hearing from these Movie Reviews, there's something similarly important to this Movie that needs to get out about Priests who get the, Christ, Story!!!
Richard Rohr????
What do Catholic stars think about L. A. 🤔,?
This is where the "Hi Cy" from Mel Gibson comes from. 🤣
Those who blaspheme the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. God is going to destroy this world. This is the day of the Lord.
I do beleive that it's unnecessary for "language " people can still be touched ...
I will pass. I don't use the "f" word and don't think it is appropriate. Don't trust a movie of someone living in sin with a non catholic who knows nothing about suffering.
Sounds like the pharisee who said "I am not as sinful as that other man" Why so judgmental?
Knows nothing about suffering?!?! How do you know that for sure? I am Catholic who talk to lots of non-Catholics & even non-Christians; that is 1 of the biggest criticism is that we are all 'Holier than thou'. Even Jesus was criticized by the holier-than-thou-Pharisees, when Jesus hang/ate with tax collectors, prostitutes, etc... Stop judging. Only God knows what really happens in people's life, mind & heart.
My choice. If they weren't movie stars or his "baby momma". you would think different. You have eyes but you don't see.. if I exalted them you would be fine.. None of you mention the cursing.
@@sandrawall2027 yet again, the only one who has no sin casting all the stones. Go on.
You’re making a mistake … the point of the movie is much more powerful than a word…. Get over it
I love CA, but why have as the intro teaser Mark using the Lord's name in vain? Made me cringe.
If the F-BOMB wasn't used over and over again the movie would be a "BOMB".
How cute. 2 racist people I mean used to be racist, playing father and son🥴
I'm confused, I thought Mark was pro same-sex marriage. Is anyone else concerned about this? Someone please tell me this is a false rumor.
I don’t know if your assertion is currently true, or not. However, most people’s conversion process is in stages- not necessarily all at once.
...When Jesus healed the blind man He put mud in his eyes a few times, and then told him to wash up, and then told him to go present himself to the local priest at the temple.
...Jesus could have healed him with a finger snap.
Father Stu’s conversion was in stages-as you will see in the film .
Be thankful for the transformation that’s happened with Mark Wahlberg. One that is continually happening and unfolding - and avoid scandal, gossip and speculation.
Peace.
Happy Easter.
@@G-MIP I certainly agree with you. Avoidng gossip, rumor, and scandal is the exact reason I am asking. And if the rumor is true, we should know so that we can pray for his continual conversion to truth. Thank you for responding.
Happy Easter
Simple really, if one can hate the sin but love the sinner, one can hate the belief yet love the believer.
It's true. And I'm conflicted about this. I want to see the movie because of Father Stu, but I think Wahberg is wrong on his beliefs on same sex marriage. I will continue to pray for Mark.
If you encounter someone bringing God to you then *BEWARE!* for it will merely be THEIR God.
Mel Gibson and Rosalind Ross are a couple in real life
Only an unregenerate Catholic would call this a "faith" based movie. It was a constant barrage of filthy vulgarity.
So is the Bible - but art needs to show the Saul to Paul transformation.
The movie 'Father Stu' was rated R for language throughout. Imdb: "Sex & Nudity: moderate, Profanity: severe". That's about how 'Catholic' this movie is.
Mel Gibson and Mark Wahlberg aren't exactly the greatest "Catholic" role models.
They are the most catholics example we have at this present age. May God keep using them in more faithful true story movies.🙏💞
Neither was Moses, Saul (St. Paul), Blessed Bartolo Longo (a former satan priest), or the Apostles who deserted Christ.
God doesn’t always use the best examples, that’s what “Father Stu” is about.
Peace.
Happy Easter.
As Jesus said, may the person who has no sin, cast the 1st stone. Hey! Saints are the sinners who kept on trying! At least, they are trying to bring positive, spiritual movie to watch. In these days when Bridgerton, 40 Shades of Gray, etc... are what is popular, we need more folks making movies like Dr. Stu. We can't wait for perfect folks like you, to make them 😉
Mel Gibson is living with a woman he’s not married to and has a child with her
@@billygoat6497 really? I can think of people who I know that aren’t public figures who are better examples
