7 reviewsFilm super inspirant qui m’a un peu réconcilié avec Benoît 16 et m’a convaincu que le pape François était le pape qui il fallait en 2020. Personnage inspirant, humble, véhiculant les valeurs qu’on attend de l Église. Je précise que je suis catholique par éducation mais complètement agnostique et non pratiquante depuis 20 ans, voir remontée contre l’église qui est selon moi, largement responsable de la soumission des femmes depuis le moyen âge ! 9/10
