One does not have to understand a single word of German to enjoy the sights and sounds of the film produced by the German public network ARD and broadcast by its main channel, Das Erste, a while ago on the Society of Saint Pius X: "Revolte gegen Rom".
The film producer follows the Society in Germany through the lives of a young woman, Veronika Fleischer, a student in the St. Teresa School, in Schönenberg (Ruppichteroth, North Rhine-Westphalia), and of a young man, Fr. Elias Stolz, a Deacon in the weeks leading up to his priestly ordination, in the Sacred Heart Seminary (Zaitzkofen, Bavaria).
The most impressive thing is how unimpressive it all looks: there is no secret, it is not a "sect", there is really nothing to hide, in a film produced by a public broadcaster that is not expected to be sympathetic in such matters. The wonder of Catholic normalcy pervades it all: we will not say other things are not Catholic, but this surely looks like it is.
