And wouldn't you know it I'm sitting here fat, dumb and happy watching an older show on EWTN and there's a guy here called "THE PODESTA" and he's the big kahuna of wherever they in Italy. There's a guy named Guido as well.

The movie is called St. Rita. Catholics traditionally consider her the patron of HOPELESS SITUATIONS. She's also known as St. Rita of Cascia.

Every now and then I'll watch one of these "lives of the saints" movies because the underlying stories are either morally instructive, or historically explanatory. What I've seen so far is pretty much backed up by what the critics say ~ which is that this movie focuses on St. Rita's life before she became a nun so that gives you a bit of the color of the time.

This is the social order where the Podesta could be your best buddy but he also arranged for torture and for strangling enemies of the state.

St. Rita certainly knew what a rough crowd was all about! So, let's say this one is historically edifying!
