The Mike Church Show-The Incredible Story Of The Making Of Cabrini

The Crusade Channel Previews

SPECIAL GUEST Mike Parrott Host of Parrottalk heard only on the Crusade Channel. Producer of the Cabrini film. Who’s idea was this? The man who financed the movie - it’s larger than the Passion and it is the biggest of any non-Hollywood film. If you go to Sacred Heart Catholic Church in New Orleans - there is a statue of Mother Cabrini. Christine Nile - Scandal We got the film done, I went to Rome and set up the shots there. I was the #3 producer on the film. I lost all of that to protect the film b/c Christine Niles and Church Militant went after me. I didn’t want this film to be under scrutiny and scandal so I removed myself. I lost my ownership in the production company. We were working w/ Mel Gibson on another film and I didn’t realize this issue w/ Church Militant was going to take 2 years. Mike Parrott is a good man, I knew this man personally and I knew the outcome would be a vindication of him. Mike was basically cancelled by Michael Voris and Christine Niles. We have a nun as the main character and asking the Pope to do things and the Archbishop too. We made her as much a Catholic as we could. Mother Cabrini wasn’t a feminist, she was Italian and they are VERY PUSHY! This was life and death for her. We tried to portray her vigor and her never say quit attitude…the modern world knows feminism and they tend to see it where it is not. She was just a strong Catholic Italian woman. I would say generally speaking that most that say they have a calling for Hollywood really don’t. It usually isn’t animated by a love for the art but a love for the money and fame that comes with it. Everything you heard about the horrors of Hollywood is true. Pre-production then the production this is two separate things and then comes post-production. That is 3 batches of money right there. Then when the film is finished you have advertisement and that is the 4th batch of money. All of that being said, I’m just not sure that is a great way to live. You aren’t doing Catholic radio, you are a Catholic man that does radio. The same needs to happen in Hollywood. We need men of good will that make good movies w/ the lens of being a good Catholic men. We need Catholics that tell good stories. We are a society that are sold more products, experiences and other things than any other generation in history. No one wants to be PREACHED to they just want to be told the story. They don’t want your politics, they don’t want to be sold anything.
