Catholic ping!
5 young friends, 4 men, 1 woman, all aged 23-30 saw it last night. They are traditional Catholics. They enjoyed the movie, but found it wasn’t Catholic enough in its presentation of her. They are all interested in learning more about her.
and to honor her, they built a slum in her name...
well, to be fair, the tenants turned it into a slum
Saw it last night. Excellent and informative. I had never heard of her before seeing the movie and her ministry was worldwide.
I really would have liked seeing more of the faith that drove her rather than just her ambition to help children. I mean, atheists can see impoverished children and be motivated to help. We hardly see Cabrini praying or drawing on her faith to see herself through challenges.
Further, they made her into a Mary Sue. Other than money, she needs no one else and the other women in her order fall into the background. With only one or two exceptions, ALL of the men in this movie are feckless or outright evil. In this respect, you'd think this was a Marvel film.
