Bath:
Catholic students enjoy nights of film and faith
Crowds of young people have been gathering in the Catholic Chaplaincy
Centre, at St John the Evangelist Catholic Church on South Parade,
after the 6.30 evening Mass to watch movies. Films of Catholic
interest are shown, both for a little relaxation and as spark
for some lively cultural conversation.
Bath universities' Catholic Chaplain, Father Bill McLoughlin OSM, said: "On Sunday 13th of May we will be showing 'Romero'- the true story of the Catholic Archbishop Oscar Romero, who lived in El Salvador during the political unrest in the 1980s.
"The film reflects on the government having launched a 'terror campaign' against the guerrillas in an attempt to crush them.
"Archbishop Romero's protests against the government's actions are perceived as disloyalty. As an example to others, the government begins to destroy churches and murder priests. Despite persecution, Romero continues to speak out against the atrocities the government is committing against the people of El Salvador, until his untimely death.
"The follow-on conversation over
a drink is always good."
