By Darlene J.M. Dela Cruz Hawaii Catholic Herald “To the students at St. Cath- erine School … you were part of a miracle.” A frame bearing this message of gratitude was sent recently to the small Kauai Catholic school by Meghan and Jared Kuhn. The Florida couple has never visited the Kapaa grade school, but they believe the schoolchildren’s prayers over the last several months helped them overcome one of the toughest challenges of their lives.

PHOTO film critic One of the crowd Fellini fan By Kurt Jensen Catholic News Service

NEW YORK Never has passing praise of a Federi- co Fellini film drawn so much attention. The bulk of the recent interview with Pope Francis by Jesuit Father Antonio Spadaro, editor of the Italian journal La Civilta Cattolica, concerned how the Holy Father’s experience as a member of the Society of Jesus informs his pa- pacy. Worldwide news coverage of the sit-down, not surprisingly, has focused instead on the pontiff’s comments about such issues as abortion, contraception, homosexuality and the role of women in the church. Yet, trailing just behind those topics in the race for spilt ink have come the pope’s cultural picks, especially this one: “’La Strada,’ by Fellini, is the movie that perhaps I loved the most. I identify with this movie, in which there is an implicit reference to St. Francis.” Whoosh! The commentariat de- scended as if the pope were handing out Academy Awards. Francis mentioned quite a few other creative figures whose works he enjoys. Among writers he cited Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoyevsky (“Crime and Pun- ishment”), German lyric poet Friedrich Holderlin, Italian novelist and Catholic
