Description
- Ignatius of Loyola: Soldier, Sinner, Saint (DVD)
This modern and very human take on the story of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, often called "The Saint of Second Chances" is an incisive and thrilling look at the life of the real man behind the legend. In his lifelong quest to become the heroic knight of his fantasies, Ignatius stares death in the face again and again, having his leg shattered by a cannonball in battle; driven to near suicide by his inner demons; finding himself imprisoned, accused of being an illuminati; and finally finding his life in the hands of the Inquisition. Through it all, he would come to see the hand of God working in his life, shaping the self-obsessed sinner into the loyal and passionate soldier-saint.

Despite pressure from the town Mayor and his farm neighbors, who increasingly ostracize him and his family, and also from the Bishop of Salzburg, Jägerstätter refuses to compromise his convictions about the evil of Nazism, and would not sign the required oath of allegiance to Hitler and the Third Reich.

After months of brutal incarceration, his case goes to trial. He is found guilty and sentenced to death.
