VATICAN CITY, NOV 25, 1999 (VIS) - Today at midday, John Paul II received representatives from the company "Lux-Vide" and the co-producers of the film "Jesus," which deals with the life of our Lord, and will be transmitted by television throughout Italy at the beginning of December.
The Pope expressed his desire that this type of film "may contribute to making the reveled message better known to the men and women of our times, offering a satisfactory response to the questions and doubts they carry in their hearts."
"Furthermore," he added, "I trust that these cinematographic productions may be a real help in the crucial dialogue which is being developed today between culture and faith."
The Holy Father affirmed that "culture is of itself communication. ... Illuminated by faith, it is able to reflect the very dialogue of the individual with God in Christ. Consequently, faith and culture are called to meet and act in the field of communications."
