Joined Frannie yesterday for her CCD homework: Watch the 2012 film “For Greater Glory," a drama about the Cristeros uprising to fight Mexico’s violent crackdown on the Catholic Church in the 1920s.
I was iffy about the idea of a 12-year-old watching a bloody 2.5-hour tale of martyrdom. But this one was a deeply affecting, powerful story of faith that was worth every minute of viewing. ¡Viva Cristo Rey!
