I was hopeful when we went to see Father Stu last night...but I was not prepared for the depth of its various messages.
Yes, there is lots of swearing (thus the R rating)...but that is who the guy actually was.
Yes, it's very Catholic...because the guy became a Catholic and Wahlberg is a committed Catholic.
But, despite those things...Father Stu had a few of the most simple yet profound Gospel explanations that I have seen in a film, Christian or otherwise.
Additionally, the redemptive power of the Spirit is on full display as is the difficult subject of suffering vs. God's will and providence.
I see every movie through a well developed Biblical worldview and process accordingly. Father Stu deeply touched my heart and Spirit, brought tears to my eyes several times, and left me almost speechless.
I chose to Glorify God through the experience. I believe that is what Wahlberg has done to the best of his ability and understanding. I hope you will do the same.
