First encyclicals usually reveal what a Pope intends to do but they are rarely as memorable as those they issue later on. Nevertheless John Paul's Redemptor Hominis (Redeemer of Man) is a bold document that asserts religion's role as the conscience of the modern world, places Christ and individual man at the center of history and saves its sharpest language to criticize the dehumanizing excesses of modern political and economic systems, capitalist and Communist alike...

What's worse, the Hungarian revolution of 1956 is gratuitously hauled into the picture to give spurious significance to one of the hero's adventures. This trivialization of real tragedy seems the only truly pornographic thing about the movie, proof that...
