Follows the life of Father Stuart Long, a boxer-turned-priest who inspired countless people during his journey from self-destruction to redemption. Biography,Drama I was hopeful when we went to see Father Stu last night...but I was not prepared for the depth of its various messages. Yes, there is lots of swearing (thus the R rating)...but that is who the guy actually was. Yes, it's very Catholic...because the guy became a Catholic and Wahlberg is a committed Catholic. But, despite those things...Father Stu had a few of the most simple yet profound Gospel explanations that I have seen in a film, Christian or otherwise. Additionally, the redemptive power of the Spirit is on full display as is the difficult subject of suffering vs. God's will and providence. I see every movie through a well developed Biblical worldview and process accordingly. Father Stu deeply touched my heart and Spirit, brought tears to my eyes several times, and left me almost speechless. I chose to Glorify God through the experience. I believe that is what Wahlberg has done to the best of his ability and understanding. I hope you will do the same.
