Making the Right Choice
LifeCanada / Darby's Story from Transposition Films on Vimeo.
The best moment for any filmmaker is being there for a subject's authentic, vulnerable emotional moment. When they speak what they know & their information or opinion carries weight because the full force of their experience and heart is in it, we know we have found what we are looking for.
We were able to experience that while creating this piece for LifeCanada.
Filmed at our studio on a Sony FS-100 & Red Scarlet camera using Canon glass.

The Real Philomena
The real Philomena about which a movie was made.
There was much anti-Catholic hate expressed with the release of the movie Philomena, yet it seems the real Philomena Lee has reconciled with the Catholic Church as can be seen when she meets Pope Francis in Rome.

A little bit old now, but it can still raise a giggle at the obsession many women in the pop culture have with always wanting to be sexy.

Science Channel Prefers Sci-Fi to Real Science
Bill Donohue from the Catholic League comments on last
night’s show, “Unsealed: Alien Files,” that aired on the Science Channel:
The program speculates that “new evidence may prove the Vatican
is hiding actual aliens from the public.” Either that or the channel will
rename itself the Sci-fi Channel.
The priest who directs the Vatican observatory, Dr. Jose
Funes, was interviewed for the program, and he made the rather unexceptional
remark that the universe is so huge that “it would be possible that life could
evolve the way we know it on Earth.” This is soon followed by a voiceover that
says, “Vatican officials have publicly acknowledged the likelihood of alien
life. This dramatic reversal of Vatican policy demands an explanation. What
does the Church know, or what have they found that causes them to reverse a
2000-year-old teaching?”
While we’re demanding that the Vatican provide an
explanation for its “policy” on aliens, I would like to demand an explanation
from the Science Channel: Must one be nuts to work there?
It gets better. Evidence of alien life, we learn, is
available in the “Vatican secret archives.” But thanks to the Science Channel,
it is a secret no more. “The Vatican secret archives is approximately 52 miles
of shelving we’re told, and over 32,000 archives.” The guy who said this did
not disclose who told him this “secret,” but who needs evidence? Then a
voiceover gets really melodramatic: “But the secrets hidden within the Vatican
can’t stay buried forever. Now new evidence may prove the Vatican is hiding
actual aliens from the public.” That’s right—they can’t play “hide and seek”
forever. Send in the Navy SEALS.
The program also claims that skulls with elongated heads and
small faces, resembling aliens, were found in 1998 under the Vatican Library,
but that access to the site has been denied. A voiceover asks, “Could these
skulls be the remnants of aliens who once lived in the Vatican?” Either that or
the Vatican employs coneheads to work in its “secret” archives.

Pope Lauds Benedict For Abuse Response
From the Catholic League
 |
| Pope Francis (Left) with Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI |
Bill Donohue comments on remarks made today by Pope Francis on the sexual abuse scandal:
No one has done more to check the sexual abuse scandal in the Catholic Church than Pope Benedict XVI, but he receives very little credit for doing so. That is why what Pope Francis said today matters: he singled Benedict out for his yeoman efforts. “Benedict XVI was very courageous and has opened a new way.” Because of Benedict, he said, “the Church has done much, perhaps more than all the others.”
Pope Francis is twice right. Long before Benedict became pope, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, as head of the Vatican’s doctrinal congregation, called for swifter and stronger procedures to punish molesting priests. That was in 1988. In 2001, he was given exclusive jurisdiction over these matters, and in 2003 he was awarded the power to police priestly sexual abuse. When he became pope, he made it more difficult for practicing homosexuals to enter the priesthood, the net effect of which has been a sharp decline in the number of abuse cases.
In his interview today, Pope Francis said, “The Catholic Church is perhaps the only public institution that has moved with transparency and responsibility. No one has done more, and yet the Church is the only one that is being attacked.” The pope was obviously referring to the highly politicized, and maliciously conceived, United Nations report on the Vatican’s response to this issue.
Pope Francis not only speaks truth to power, and to the people, he tells it like it is to those who selectively rally to his side. Yesterday, his comments condemning anti-Catholicism were, as I predicted, all but ignored. His remarks today lauding his predecessor will similarly be given short shrift. Such is the politics of the left, religious as well as secular.
