"Pope Francis: A Man Of His Word" Is A Movie Worth Seeing

Alan: I just got back from the new Pope Francis documentary which I really liked.

It's only 96 minutes long but, oddly, about 15 minutes from the end I started to experience "compassion fatigue" just as Francis was warning against "compassion fatigue" from the silver screen.

I wonder how you'll react to Francis' total lack of germaphobia.

Francis of Assisi (who plays a significant role in the movie) experienced his "complete conversion" the moment he embraced a leper.

The very last "scene" is a 20 second vignette that may be the most uplifting video ever. 

All by itself, it's worth the price of admission.
