Stigmata, by justin

April 14, 2004

It raises some questions as to the power of the church and the power of ordinary people deciding how to worship. I enjoyed the movie and am a "christian" in that I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. If this goes against others' beliefs... I appologize. Good luck in your own personal choices through life. In the words of Danny DeVito in the movie "Ranaisance Man", "The choices we make dictate the life we lead". Thank you.
