![]() | Church Service - Saint Francis and Surveillance (Assisi) Apart from being Saint Francis' town and hosting a basilica in his honor, the nice medieval town of Assisi has always been a place of tolerance and solidarity: after WWII it gave a home to homeless Jews and, when pope John Paul II organized a meeting of all religious leaders in 1986 and 2002, they all came to Assisi. These days the people lying on the basilica's steps aren't the lepers that Saint Francis used to help, but half naked tourists with a new generation of beggars preying upon these well-heeled pilgrims. In order to change this crowded situation, the right-wing mayor decided to impose heavy restrictions and control over the whole city center, making the church areas and their steps off limits and putting up surveillance services and cameras.

![]() | St Francis of Assisi - Mickey Rourke - Porziuncola Please comment. Feedback! The seraphic Saint Francis, due to his singular love towards the blessed Virgin Mary, always took diligent care of the tiny church dedicated to Saint Mary of the Angels, also known as the Porziuncola. It is here that he settled with his friar brothers, that he began with Saint Clare of Assisi the order of the Poor Clares, and here where he concluded the course of his admirable life. The Saintly Founder obtained from Pope Honorious III the historical indulgence, which the Supreme Pontiffs successively confirmed and extended to numerous other churches. In order to recall all these glorious memories, the Seraphic Franciscan Order celebrates with joy the Feast of Pardon on August 2nd of every year. Enjoy the clip! |

This is a newly encoded version of the film using imovie and a Mac rather than the PC the film was originally edited on. For some reason some digital artefacts have proved to be peculiarly persistent in the transfer to mp4. This version of the film also includes the 'Spotlight' introduction and 'Coffee Time' ending from its original showing at Eternity Church, Guildford. |
