This is really for the music, again, this is a track that does not show in the OST CDs.
Your link to the trailer at YouTube (takes a few minutes to download but it’s worth it).

If you are all Papist, love art especially Christian art and adore church architecture, you have to visit Mr. Jeffrey Smith, the Roving Medievalist. Picture upon picture everyday. Absolutely beautiful.

In Singapore (my last foreign destination):
The Pope, apologetics, Thomas Merton, lives and teachings of the saints…
In India (Bombay):
A book on Jesus by Bishop Fulton Sheen (now it begins to go bad), da Vinci Code things, various apocryphal gospels like Judas/Mary, Jesus really lived in India(?), the real Mary Magdalene.
It’s nasty. The one real Christian book [...]
