STIGMATA


Jesus said : "The Kingdom of God is inside you and all around you, not in mansions of wood and stone. Split a piece of wood and I am there, lift a stone and you will find me".The movie follows the conflict between Frankie - an atheist hairdresser who exibits true stigmata - and Father Andrew Kiernan, a former scientist and a priest who, as part of the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints, investigates miracles for the Vatican. Kiernan soon discovers that the stigmata stems from the spirit of Father Paulo Alameida, who was excommunicated for the discovery of a lost Gospel challenging the very foundations of Catholicism by suggesting that Jesus Christ did not want churches built to workship God. The movie doesn't acctually suggests this; but rather, it suggests that truly believing in your heart and helping others around you is more important than going through the motions of attending a church. Due to this, the film is based on the discovery of the Gospel of Thomas, a document which the Vatican and most other Christians have declared as being the product of heretical Gnostic group.
