The misunderstood pope [DVD]

The one-hour documentary shows the intense life of Paul VI, John Baptist Montini, marked by the most dramatic upheavals of the 20th century: from his youthful confrontations with fascism, and the world war alongside Pius XII, going through the bitter via crucis of his pontificate. After the death of John XXIII, Paul VI had to conclude the Second Vatican Council and govern the agitated post-conciliar Church in one of the most terrible crises in its history. Victim of ruthless attacks by Lefebrian fundamentalists, guerrilla priests, promoters of the sexual revolution, and an unscrupulous press, Paul VI managed to maintain the course of the Church through a revolution that shook the moral foundations of a civilization. Paul VI was the first Vicar of Christ who traveled to Africa, America, Oceania and Asia... The first to visit the Holy Land, the first to speak at the United Nations... He was a social, dialogical, ecumenical, pious Pope. .perhaps too modern and prophetic to be understood by the men of his time. This documentary shows images hitherto unpublished in Spain, such as his attack in the Philippines, the attack on Michelangelo's Pietà and his denunciation of the devil's action in the Church...
