The Preacher to the Popes: Raniero Cantalamessa” Ecumenical Movie Night Thursday, June 1, 2023 Doors open at 6:30 pm Film starts at 7:00 pm A time of prayer and worship will follow. Since 1980, God has used this humble, soft-spoken man as the preacher to the papal household, serving the last 3 Popes. This documentary film tells the story of his personal conversion through his intellect, experience and will. As a traditional Catholic priest and professor on early Church history, he experienced a turning point in his relationship with God while reluctantly attending an ecumenical conference in Kansas City in 1977. At this gathering of 40,000 people of every denomination, he saw the undeniable presence of the Spirit of God, and the impact of this experience has led him to the forefront of ecumenical dialogue and Christian reconciliation. Cardinal Cantalamessa is featured in the Alpha Film Series in the video presentations on the Holy Spirit, helping Christians of many traditions to discover a life led by the Spirit.
