As the weather gets colder we tend to spend more and more time inside. Our tendency
then is to watch movies and T.V. shows as all of our outdoor forms of leisure are not an
option. But what movies and shows will we watch? It goes without saying that there are
many movies and shows out there which are harmful to our faith and our morals due to
immoral content that offends against Gods gift of Chastity (parents especially must take
great care that their children do not watch movies or T.V. that can lead to sinful
temptations). There are other movies and T. V. shows which do not necessarily have any
sinful content but are so bad (artistically speaking) that they are an offense to our brain
cells. I am pretty sure that every single time an episode of SURVIVOR aired, the national
I.Q. dropped several points. We should obviously avoid watching both material that is
sinful and can create opportunities to offend against chastity, as well as material that while
not sinful nevertheless leaves our brains starving.
One might think then that there is nothing worthwhile to watch especially nothing
that can enhance our Catholic Faith. This is not true. There is a large body of film which
is centered on true stories from both the Bible and the Lives of the Saints. The problem is
that many of these films were made in the 50s and 60s and have since been forgotten,
even by devout Christians. But most of these films are easily accessible on Amazon,
Netflix, or from Ignatius Press (www.ignatius.com). So during these cold winter months,
here are some films which will both entertain and edify ones faith: The Ten
Commandments, starring Charlton Heston. Ben Hur. Jesus of Nazareth. King of Kings.
A Man For All Seasons. Quo Vadis, starring Peter Ustinov. The Nativity. The Passion of
the Christ (not for kids). The Greatest Story Ever Told. Don Bosco. The Bells of Saint
Marys. And many more! I would recommend browsing the Ignatius Press catalogue
online to get access to even more great titles.
Let us all then this winter, avoid watching films which are either sinful in
content or low quality in art, and instead gather the family together to watch films
that can inspire our faith and teach us something about God and his saints.
