Rating Reason

Francis de Sales was a brilliant mind and compassionate heart devoted to God. Against his parents’ wishes, Francis became a priest with the help of his dear cousin Louis. Together, they courageously ministered to those estranged from the church in the Chablais region, winning souls with his gentle, persistent charity and the use of technology. His story is a timeless example of courage, charity, and perseverance.

This series contains moments of danger and intensity. Religious persecution is depicted. A street duel is depicted in which no one is harmed. Priests are beaten by a hostile crowd. Voices are raised with anti-Catholic rhetoric. Religious wars are discussed.
