THE CATHOLIC CHURCH LAUNCHES A FILM AGAINST THE LOURDES- THE CATHOLIC CHURCH LAUNCHES A FILM AGAINST LOURDES-SHAME
Lourdes, thirty-eight of the Austrian director Jessica Hausner
The film in fact a pilgrimage to Lourdes. Among the pilgrims there are the sick and healthy people who undertake this journey in hopes of finding spiritual comfort or because they are looking for a physical healing. The main character is Christine, a young woman forced to immobility from an incurable disease, who visited on pilgrimage to Lourdes - more than to escape from a forced isolation for devotional feelings - can be found, almost like a dream, completely healed in able to move and walk. The viewer travels with her, Lourdes discovers through his eyes and identifies herself in her desire to establish social and emotional bonds with others, from Maria, a young volunteer of the Order of Malta who takes care of her. Christine observes the universe of Maria with a touch of envy. He sees Mary as an echo of his past and this gives hope. But Mary prefers attend his peers and sometimes try to escape the spectacle of the disease. Christine is satisfied then the company of Mrs. Hartl, a sixty-year sudden and lonely. Mrs. Hartl did not go to Lourdes to cure a physical disease but groped to alleviate the suffering of a life spent entirely in solitude. Feel the need to give meaning to his existence empty, to fill this void with a mission. I find caring for Christine, praying for her. And his prayer will be answered: during your stay, Christine improves the health of the woman miraculously cured at the end: it is able to walk again. The healing arouses admiration, but also doubts and jealousies. The Board of Medical Lourdes is called upon to comment on the miracle. The verdict is uncertain, because the disease is unpredictable Christine: her condition can improve significantly, but also just as easily worsen. Chris clings to this new opportunity for happiness, while fearing that could prove ephemeral. And so it will be at the end of the feast at the end of the pilgrimage, Christine finds himself on his wheelchair. Perhaps there was a miracle, certainly he has not verified the inner, essential on many occasions, not for the physical life, but for the Christian life.
The film, made by a director who declares himself not a believer, it is interesting and well filmed. It will certainly subject to debate. Meanwhile, in Venice has earned several awards including the International Catholic Organization Signis Award film, The Prize Fighter and the Performing Arts Foundation Board of Cinema Journal and the FIPRESCI prize awarded by a jury of international critics.

LOURDES A FILM AGAINST MIRACLES OF LOURDES
This film is blasphemous, before all because it is fantasy, and we know that the saying of the wise saying: "He jokes with the soldiers and let it be the Saints' second
because the director Jessica Hausner is an atheist, so it is not competent in matters of faith, because the third took place in Lourdes
many miracles in the film and the real miracle is not done and there is a lot air of deceit.
What is disconcerting is that this film blasphemy against the sanctity of Lourdes was honored by Catholics:
Award Signis International Catholic Organization for Cinema at the 2009 Venice film festival.
*** ******************
The reality is what counts, the fantasy remains falsiltà useless, even if it is a good film of high artistic level. Let
Lourdes in reality:
The shrine at Lourdes is particularly associated with the hope of miraculous cures, and is therefore visited by large numbers of faithful sick. In Italy there are three groups of volunteers, the UNITALSI the OFTAL, and the SMOM (Sovereign Military Order of Malta), who arranges the transport and care of the sick on board trains and planes conveniently equipped. Held annually since 1958, the International Military Pilgrimage, which brings together thousands of believers who work in "uniform" in the service of others.
Afternoon Procession around the Shrine of the sick according
believers to pray for healing is particularly effective in the ritual immersion pool, specially made, filled with water that flows from the spring at the grotto of the apparitions. The same source also supplies the fountains, from which pilgrims drink the 'water of Lourdes, filling bottles and jerry cans to take home.
Since 1905 is working at the shrine the Bureau Médical (medical office), which collects reports of alleged miraculous cures. At the end of 2006, 67 cases of healing have been officially recognized by the Catholic Church as miracles.

Now why invent a false miracle and to lose hope for the poor sick people who want to travel to Lourdes?
This film against the faith and hope is not only under the Austrian director Jessica Hausner atheist, had a prize
atheist rationalists by
UAAR:
"Premio Brian," its fourth edition, is this' years attributed to the film director Jessica Hausner's Lourdes for the rationalist approach to the subject of miracles.

Certainly the atheists would be comfortable that things were like in the movie, but the reality is different This is only important,
stories, especially those of the atheists are garbage.

A Lourdes too dark to be true
Vittorio Messori, Corriere della Sera on February 12, 2010
The prospect of Jessica Hausner's Lourdes is declared in the now, right from the opening scene, from the room coll'inquadratura room for pilgrims. No windows, but a dim artificial light, on a claustrophobic environment: the black floor, black walls they hang crucifixes blacks, black skirts and pants of the staff, the mantles of blacks hospitalières with the Cross of Malta, Knights of the uniforms of black, blacks the clergyman of the priests. In those tables funeral takes place in silence a crowd of dwarfs from the court of miracles, paralyzed, cancer, assisted by volunteers, both formally trained as distracted or confused ("What am I doing here?"), Live only in the exchange of glances between girls and boys with the beret with a veil. Little, very little light in the film, whose figure is the leaden color: black clouds in the sky even in the few outdoor scenes. Even the blessing of the Eucharist in the afternoon-l 'appointment daily more popular with pilgrims, along with the night procession with torches non-turned, as it is in truth, the big, bright Esplanade facing the three shrines superimposed. No, Hausner chose to set the huge underground church, where no light penetrates. Too little light for the final dismal little party. And dark, of course, the scene-miraculous healing of topical or random-that is the quadriplegic came to Lourdes for faith, but to escape from the house where the evil traps.
UAAR We've seen the good, "Union of Rationalist Atheists and Agnostics" in giving this film the award named in his mocking Brian, desecrating the name of a film on Jesus say, these atheists organized, that the work of Hausner will help you lose the faith "who has not yet arrived at a vision of disenchanted and skeptical." Freemasonry has also expressed his appreciation. What, then, the prize awarded by the Catholic men of the cinema, set up an association officially recognized by the Holy See? What about the diocese of Milan who has decided to sponsor this work, spreading it in the parishes?
would think what I said a disappointed Umberto Eco ironically, when similar awards Catholics (one, even from Loyola University, the American Jesuit University) were attributed to the film of his The Name of the Rose: "I have struggled to make a book radically agnostic if not atheist, hoping to stir a heated debate. But no, 'sti priests fool me, cheering and filling me with awards. I almost almost nostalgic for the good old days of the Inquisition. Those tough Dominicans were less troublesome monk and sacristan "adults" who, excited, cheering the unbeliever. "
But yes, it would be easy smile of clerical masochism, which, however, we are now resigned. Here, however, should perhaps recognize extenuating circumstances. In fact, at first reading on Austrian film director (the usual ex-Catholic: the West it is now full) seems attractive to the devotees. There is nothing of anti-an Emile Zola who sneak by Anonymous, French National Pilgrimage in and took out his partisan novel, where everything started for him by "une pauvre idiot," a little hysterical call Bernadette. Nothing here, the invectives of the Lodges nineteenth century, calling for the closure of military force Lourdes "for abuse of public credulity" and for "hygienic reasons". The old place has been vociferous eater, in Hausner, a radical atheism, but politically correct. And such a denial of faith-hard content, but very soft in the way-can have detecting the clerical enthusiastic. Atheism, however, honestly stated in interviews, not so much the joke of the head of the Knights hospitaliers (Our Lady who wants to go to Lourdes, because there never was), stop a bit 'blasphemous that reveals the disbelief of those volunteers . Not so much in doubt of the pilgrims, in their jealous spy, each fearing that the next room is healed and he was not. It is not even in those chaplains who, sick of the question, replicate, with slogans, vending machines were almost apologetic answers. No, the radical atheism of the film lies in the ad that Christianity is dead, because it is the litmus test of Lourdes reveals that they are dead the three theological virtues that supports it: dead Faith, dead Hope, Charity, also dead, despite appearances of those who, as volunteers, seems to exercise it. But for his own sake, not the needy. To escape boredom, to find a way or a husband rather than to help others.
Pope John called Lourdes, which he loved much, "a window that is suddenly wide open, showing the Sky." The Hausner, that window closes, hence, the lack of light, the sense of oppression and claustrophobia, the black marks all over his film. That sky is now barred Roncalli, killing Hope. The explosion
joyous dawn of the Resurrection is removed in favor of a devotional routine gray, boring, secretly hypocrite. But is it really so? Those who have a genuine experience of Lourdes knows (and is not rhetoric) that this is the realm of pain but also joy, of despair and hope, doubt and faith, selfishness of merchants, innkeepers, and professionals the generosity of countless anonymous. A contradictory mix, certainly, but full of life and shaped, after all, a strong faith, which does not give up. Sometimes there are clouds, in the Pyrenees. But, more often, there shines a hot sun. The Hausner has its reasons, which deserve our respect. But around the Cave -The real one, not that of the former student of the sisters who lost his faith-is a brazier which continues to burn, symbolized by a thousand candles lit day and night, for 150 years. There is a candle now extinct, or only fumigant that would like this movie, so excellent in the one-sided technical content.

The film, presented in Competition at the 66th Venice Film Festival, tells of a pilgrimage to Lourdes. Among the pilgrims there are the sick and healthy people who undertake this journey in hopes of finding spiritual comfort or because they are looking for a physical healing. The main character is Christine, nailed to a wheelchair by an incurable disease. The viewer travels with her, Lourdes discovers through his eyes and identifies herself in her desire to establish social and emotional bonds with others. The life of the young woman was devastated by the disease, which caused her to an isolation from which he now wants to leave. Would you go back to being "normal" and able to do what they can do the 'other' with ease. Mary is a young volunteer of the Order of Malta who takes care of her. Mary Christine goes to the baths and processions, nourishes, and helps the lava bed. Christine observes the universe of Maria with a touch of envy. He sees Mary as an echo of its past and this gives hope. But Mary prefers to attend his peers and sometimes try to avoid the spectacle of the disease. Christine is satisfied then the company of Mrs. Hartl, a sixty-year sudden and lonely. Ms. Hartl did not go to Lourdes to cure a physical disease but groped to alleviate the suffering of a life spent entirely in solitude. Feel the need to give meaning to his existence empty, to fill this void with a mission. I find caring for Christine, praying for her. And his prayer will be answered: during your stay, Christine improves the health of the woman miraculously cured at the end: it is able to walk again. The healing arouses admiration, but also doubts and jealousies. The committee of doctors at Lourdes is called upon to comment on the miracle. The verdict is uncertain, because the disease is unpredictable Christine: her condition can improve significantly, but also just as easily worsen. Chris clings to this new opportunity for happiness, while fearing that could prove ephemeral.

You have someone that you stressed to the phone, to remind you that you need to do or to ask you if you did or something else? At least make sure that the ringtone association is not unpleasant, put a music that plays so willingly so that at least when they call at least the premise is not so bad ...
