It is time to share the Christian message of hope, love, and authentic Catholicism via a documentary feature on one of the most respected advocates of the renewal in the Spirit - the Preacher to the Papal Household himself, Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa. His story will inspire the next generations of Christians seeking Christ and inspire EVERYONE to live a holy life!
Popes John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis, three very different popes of the modern era, have all trusted Cardinal Cantalamessa as the official preacher to the Papal Household, the only preacher allowed to preach directly to the Pope. He is a man who has consistently encouraged trust in God, Christian unity, and a humble faith based in preaching the Word of God. Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa has logged more than 144 hours over 38 years of preaching to the popes, cardinals, bishops, and general superiors of religious orders, making this friar the longest running Preacher to the Papal Household since the inception of the position in 1555. An ecumenical leader, Cardinal Cantalamessa is a respected voice in many Christian traditions, pointing always toward Christian unity.
Intertwined with the history and challenges of the three most recent popes, this documentary is an inside look into the life and mission of an Italian Franciscan Capuchin Catholic priest, world-traveler, professor, author, television host, part-time hermit, and influential preacher passionate about Christian unity and spreading the Gospel of Christ.
