The profanity and frisky on-screen action were an issue for some fans of the original film.
“The constant refrain from the audience was, ‘I love this movie. I wish I could bring my kids to see it,’” Ross said.
“We wanted to remove that obstacle and open the experience up to the whole family. We really just listened to the audience and were blessed to have a chance to react to that,” she said.
“I think it’ll open a discussion about God and redemption and suffering and purpose and things that most of us probably don’t talk about enough with our kids,” Ross, who considers herself “spiritual,” told CNA. “And I think it will really speak to a younger audience, people who are trying to find their faith and their purpose in life.”
Played by Mark Wahlberg, Father “Stu” Stuart Long died at the age of 50 in 2014 from a rare muscular condition. He was ordained a priest in the Diocese of Helena in 2007. A late vocation, Long had pursued careers in acting, boxing, teaching, and museum management before entering the priesthood.
Before finding his faith, Long almost died in a severe motorcycle accident that hospitalized him. It was in the hospital that he had an experience that led him to pursue the Catholic faith and enter RCIA. Shortly after he was baptized, he felt the call to the priesthood.
