I appreciate that your film is making St. Hildegard more known to the world. I feel the film came from a genuine love and tried to treat her and the Catholics interviewed with respect. My only issue with the film is the “New Age,” even occultist interpretation of her work by the many non-Catholics that were interviewed. These practices are completely incompatible with Catholicism and with St. Hildegard herself. She was not involved with witchcraft and was not altogether “unruly.” She was a staunch defender of the Roman Catholic Church and lived by all of its teachings. Having said that, I thank you for making this film and hope it is the beginning of a journey toward the “One Holy Catholic and Apostolic” Faith for many.
