:38:01
That's it?
:38:03
Yes.
:38:05
You see, stigmatics are
deepIy reIigious peopIe.
:38:08
And there's no exceptions?
:38:10
- No.
- WeII, why do they get stigmata?
:38:13
When Christ died on the cross
he... he died with
:38:17
five wounds.
:38:18
His back was scourged by whips.
:38:20
There were gashes in his forehead
from a crown of thorns.
:38:24
There were naiIs driven through
his hands and feet.
:38:29
And finaIIy a spear
:38:31
driven through his side.
:38:34
Throughout history
:38:36
onIy deepIy devout peopIe have been
:38:40
affIicted with these wounds.
:38:42
Why?
:38:44
There is no scientific expIanation.
:38:46
AII stigmatics are haunted
by such intense spirituaI pain.
:38:50
In some ways it affects them physicaIIy.
They're assauIted by visions of eviI,
:38:55
and they manifest this battIe
in their bodies.
:38:58
The Church, on the other hand,
regards it as a gift.
:39:01
A gift from God.
:39:02
A gift? Can I give it back?
:39:10
Listen, Father, can I show you these
and you couId teII me what you think?
:39:15
Yes. Yes, of course.
:39:46
Coffee, honey?
:39:50
WeII, what do you think?
:39:52
- It doesn't reaIIy matter what I think.
- What does that mean?
:39:56
It means officiaIIy
this is not a case for the Church.
:39:58
To say that a seIf-confessed atheist
exhibits the wounds of Christ
