Film Portrays Young John Paul II
By Marc • Aug 15th, 2005 • Category: The Pope is Dope, the ChurchI haven’t seen a whole lot of buzz about this around the blogosphere. The film about the early career of Pope John Paul the Great will be on the Hallmark channel tonight. I am hoping for a rerun, because I’ve got to be in to the office early in the morning (0230) and I’m going to have to miss it tonight.
Another thing I haven’t seen mentioned is the timing of the show. It’s on tonight. What is today though? It’s the Feast of the Assumption of Mary. How cool is that? Coincidence? I think not!
Here’s some news stories on the film:

I thought the movie was great!!!
Thanks for finally updating your blog by the way.
I’ll have to be sure to catch a rerun then. I think I heard it will be on again Sunday.
Just for that, you’re getting your own post. :p
