Of course I have sinned….
As a child, I have failed you first by not having the courage to taste of life itself.
Instead, I hid away in books, and then study.
I know now this left me empty and void of the world.
~ Anthony Hopkins as Pope Benedict XVI in The Two Popes (Netflix, 2019)

I’ve followed some interviews (chats) with the main actors – a very important film I think and inasfar as your title goes, I couldn’t agree more! It’s one of those movies I honestly can’t wait to see.

An amazing cast! Have always been a huge fan of Anthony Hopkins.This one is definitely going into my queue. Vanity Fair ran an interesting article last year about this curious situation of ‘two popes’ and the tension it is causing in the a Catholic Church…

I love what a manager told me many years ago.
“You cannot lead until you learn to follow”.
I started to watch this last night. Its a must tonight. If Live and Learn says its good, its good, and I’ll follow along.
Merry Christmas all!

“The most important qualification of a leader is not wanting to be leader.” So agree with this.

Hmmm. All of us need leaders at one time or another even if we don’t know it.

I’m with you. All of us need leaders.
Not in faith though. My parents would be my h happier if a followed a “leader”. But I’m still sticking to my feeling that my relationship ship with what I believe in a a strictly intimate one-on-one affair and I don’t want anything or anyone in the middle.

It is a movie I somewhat dread watching (for the emotional load, not the caliber of the actors) but am aware is important to watch. It is on my “before the end of 2019” list.
