Everything I know about Father Serra I learned from a movie with Jeffrey Hunter and Rita Moreno as Aztecs! In Technicolor!

With Anthony Quinn and Michael Rennie. This is a really fun movie. Made when movies were movies. A big cup of cheese. All they needed was Charlton Heston and it would have been perfect.

This is where I got my history of the California missions and the life of St Junipero Serra. History the way you should learn it.

From the movies.

"Clerical celibacy is open to discussion"

The Vatican’s new secretary of state has said that priestly celibacy is not church dogma and therefore open to discussion, marking a significant change in approach towards one of the thorniest issues facing the Roman Catholic Church.

"Celibacy is not an institution but look, it is also true that you can discuss (it) because as you say this is not a dogma, a dogma of the church," Archbishop Pietro Parolin said in response to a question during an interview with Venezuelan newspaper El Universal.

He added that while it was not dogma, clerical celibacy was a deeply entrenched Catholic tradition.

"The efforts that the church made to keep ecclesiastical celibacy, to impose ecclesiastical celibacy, have to be taken into consideration," Parolin said. "One cannot say simply that this belongs in the past."

I agree. As a practicing Catholic I really feel that Pope Francis is the best thing that has happened to the Catholic church in a long time.
