Cinema is the 7th art the world needs now. It was a heartwarming speech given by Pope Leo XIV So nice to see his outreach to those that make the big screen alive for the rest of us. He has shown that what we see on the big screens is made up of many hard working people all working together to provide a unique experience for us . The creativity they possess overtakes an artificial medium that lacks truths and values. He hopes they continue to create cinema that reflects true values for all of us to witness. God bless our Holy Father Pope Leo XIV.

Pope Leo calling cinema a workshop of hope hits diferently in an era where streaming algorithms decide what stories we see. His point about protecting the theater experence is crucial. There's something irreplaceable about sharing a film with strangers in the dark. The warning against algorithmic content that just repeats what works is exacty what the industry needs to hear right now.

Oh my my and my! What's up next for Prevost? Vaticanpalooza where he will give a speech that music not only gives us hope, but opens a door to our hearts, and connects to the gates of heaven! LOL...
