Doubt becomes a sin only if it grows into stubbornness and perseverance, that is, into pride.
Father Grigorio
Pain is the key to the soul, and it is time for all of us to understand it, otherwise we will reach a dead end.
Lorenzo Casamarez
Beware of those who are baptized from right to left. This is a clear sign of heresy. Pay attention to those who claim that matter consists of tiny particles called atoms, for this nonsense is incompatible with the dogma of Holy Communion. The body of Christ is present in every veil, yet it is not material. Therefore, it does not consist of atoms, as well as a coating. Finally, do not pass by those who suggest that life like ours is possible on other planets. The earth is at the center of the created world.
God has placed man on earth in his image and likeness. Therefore, Earth is the queen of all luminaries, the only planet that knows what conscience, sin and redemption are.
Lorenzo Casamarez
Live people age a little every day, and their painted images remain the same. These images quickly become false.
Francisco Goya
One morning, at dawn, after a sleepless night, the former monk lost his faith. It came to him suddenly as a revelation. Lorenzo saw the veil of continuous fog in which he had lived until now, realized its cause, vanity, artificiality and futility. He immediately drew the line between myth and sound speech. He believed that man was going from nowhere to nowhere, and that his fate, his dignity and his strength depended entirely on what he could understand and accomplish in that short period of time, and not on the brilliant but illusory and deceptive prospect of eternal life.
Therefore, it was necessary to act in this light. Think not of the salvation of your soul, but of happiness.
Both the book and the movie are great. It is read in one breath and the movie also goes well through the Inquisition.
Javier Bardem, Natalie Portman, Skarsgård - brilliantly perform their roles. Very good movie. I recommend it. 👍
