Ways of seeing
Sr. Rose Pacatte, FSP
THINK THEOLOGICALLY
“You will need to know what you believe
about God as well as God’s ongoing, eternal
communication with us”
-

Meredith Gould “The Social Media Gospel”
THINK SACRAMENTALLY
• Sacraments are outward signs of invisible
grace
• Cinema reveals inner realities through
outward visual and aural signs
• What inner, transcendent, transforming
grace, signs of the divine, are being revealed
Common beliefs between the three
Abrahamic (monotheistic) faiths:
theology
• One God
• Personal
• Transcendent
Attributes of God
• Common
– Omniscinece
– Omnipotence
– Omnipresence
– Omnibenevolence
– Eternal
– Immaterial
– The source of morality
How we understand – and appreciate –
cinema depends on
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Age
Education
Life experience
Human development
Faith formation
Moral and ethical imagination
Expectations
Values
Values are overarching ideals that
guide our lives
What are the three most
important values that guide your
life?
Existential questions
What is really going on deep in the collective
human psyche?
What does it truly mean to be human? How can
we live transformatively?
Is God present here?
- N. Usslemann
Catholic Christians believe

What is truly human is truly of the Gospel and
what is truly pf the Gospel is truly human
Cf. Gaudium et Spes
Existential
• These existential questions are always present
to humanity but sometimes it takes a cultural
parable to make us aware and attentive to
these very questions.
• - N. Usslemann
Character
 Empathy
 What you do when no one is looking
 “How would you feel if someone did that to you?”
 Character education = human formation
 The spiritual is built upon the human
Character

Sow a thought and you reap an action; sow an act
and you reap a habit; sow a habit and you reap a
character; sow a character and you reap a destiny.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
Content vs context
• Not what’s “in” the movie
• It’s what the movie MEANS
Jesus’ Family Values
• Not
– Sex
– Violence
– Bad language
– Drugs
– Violence
– Alcohol
What are Jesus’ family values?
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

To feed the hungry
To give drink to the thirsty
To clothe the naked
To give shelter to the homeless
To visit the sick
To ransom the captive
To bury the dead.
More of Jesus’ family values
The spiritual works of mercy
• To instruct the ignorant
• To counsel the doubtful
• To admonish sinners
• To bear wrongs patiently
• To forgive offences willingly
• To comfort the afflicted
• To pray for the living and the dead
Morality
• Why does morality matter?
• If you believe, then you believe what God tells
us is right and good
• Ten Commandments
• The Commandment of Love
• Principles & Themes of Catholic Teaching
Conscience
• Conscience is out true home
Conscience
• Not to live by one’s conscience is
homelessness
Dilemma and Drama
• The most interesting movies deal with the
dilemma between following or not following
one’s conscience
• The consequences of one’s choices on one’s
life and the lives of others
Which religions
believe in these ideas?
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Human dignity
Common good
Solidarity
Option for the poor
Rights and responsibilities
Family, community, participation
Care for the earth
These are themes of Catholic social teaching
Ways of seeing
Part II
Sr. Rose Pacatte, FSP
Spirituality
• Relationship with God and others that flows
from religious belief
• If you are “spiritual” but not “religious” it’s like
looking for freedom without responsibility
• Communication
• Encounter
• Way of seeing, way of believing, way of
being, way of doing
The face of God
Cinema and the face of God
Homework
World cinema can enable profound learning
experiences for audiences about the lives of
others

To the extend that these are about the human
experience, they reveal people’s faith
Global film
• The meaning of the films rises from the
relationships of the characters with one
another, their society, their environment, their
beliefs
• It is in these stories’ exquisite expressions of
human love that God is revealed for the
characters and for the audience.
Trailers from selected films
• As suggesetd By Fr. Deck
Let us remember that the world
is permeated by grace even
when it does not seem so
(cf. Karl Rahner)

  • 24. The face of God Cinema and the face of God
  • 25. Homework World cinema can enable profound learning experiences for audiences about the lives of others To the extend that these are about the human experience, they reveal people’s faith
  • 26. Global film • The meaning of the films rises from the relationships of the characters with one another, their society, their environment, their beliefs • It is in these stories’ exquisite expressions of human love that God is revealed for the characters and for the audience.
