LEISURE film Thursday! (My weekly review of a movie focused on interesting leisure pursuits)
The first hour of this series is the most moving, when an young orphan girl learns how to play chess from the janitor at her orphanage.

Lugosi created cinema’s most enduring representation of evil trying to devour the life of society from within. His portrayal also illustrates that, if the will to resist is there, such forces can be overcome by Christian societies.

Addressing the Catholic converts in France, Pope Leo said, “I see not only the fruits of the Holy Spirit, you set you on this path, but also the promise of fruitfulness for the Church.”

Hope springs eternal.
Many see secular-seeming societies as secularist. Real faith, though, is everywhere, but often drowned out as alternative, grievance-led virtue-signaling faiths are pushed in the public realm despite being false and not eternal.

Home is where the heart is and isn't necessarily one place.
And one can feel at home even away from home.

You can walk into a Catholic church almost anywhere on earth and know exactly where you are.
You could be in Rome, Poland, Kenya, Mexico, the Philippines, or sitting in a nearly empty parish in Chester County on a Tuesday morning. You may not understand a word being spoken, but you will still recognize the Mass. You will know when to stand, when to kneel, what is happening at the altar, and why everyone came.
That alone is incredible. But then you remember what it took for the Mass to survive.
It was offered in catacombs when Christians had to hide. It was offered in prison camps, during wars, in Irish homes when the faith was persecuted, and in underground churches where being caught could cost people everything. Priests risked their lives to celebrate it. Catholics risked theirs just to be there.
Kings died. Empires collapsed. Borders changed. Whole countries disappeared.
The Mass continued.
And now I get to walk into my church on an ordinary weekday morning and step into the same worship Catholics have carried across centuries.
That is what gets me.
Catholicism is not tied to one country, one culture, one preacher, or one generation. The Church is bigger than all of that.
You can cross an ocean, walk through the doors of a Catholic church, and still know exactly where you are.
Home.
"The tradition of pilgrimage in Poland dates back to the Middle Ages. Organized groups were already making their way to Jasna Góra in the 15th century."
