Catholicism: The Pivotal Players Part 1 — Word on Fire

Bishop Robert Barron is on a new journey to unlock the truth behind the Catholic Church's most influential people. The Pivotal Players is a multi-part film series that illuminates a handful of saints, artists, mystics, and scholars who not only shaped the life of the church but changed the course of civilization. See the places where St. Thomas Aquinas lived, learned and wrote. Visit the countryside where St. Francis gathered a group of friars and revived the church. See the places where St. Catherine of Siena ministered and prayed. Trek through England to where Blessed John Henry Newman and G.K. Chesterton left their mark and sparked an English Catholic revival. And marvel at the extraordinary art of Michelangelo from the David statue in Florence, to the Pieta at St. Peter's, to the Sistine Chapel. (©2016)
