The Catholic Church of the Beatitudes presents:
Pink Smoke Over the Vatican is a documentary that delves into the controversial and growing movement of women seeking to be ordained as Roman Catholic priests. The film explores their internal struggles as they challenge the church they love as well as the external battles with the Church hierarchy, centuries-old tradition, the police, and rampant prejudice.
To date over 200 women have been ordained or are training to be ordained as priests in the Roman Catholic Church.
Jules Hart has created a unique and innovative film that should be seen by any and everyone.
The voices of these women must be heard.
This movie inspires all to stand up to power, no matter the odds and follow their true call.
“Pink Smoke over the Vatican is a pah-breaking film. Jules Hart has filmed history in the making. This will be a classic that will last, a stirring documentation of our time, when the Catholic hierarchy is clinging to traditions of domination against rising calls for equality, justice, and partnership by courageous women who are building a new priesthood…”
–Riane Eisler, author of The Chalice and the Blade: Our History, Our Future
