Rating Reason

St. John Vianney’s life story is an inspiring example of humble reliance on God’s goodness. Despite many obstacles - the French Revolution, his lack of education, and even supernatural opposition - John Vianney’s humility and love of God provided him with a sure path to holiness and made him responsible for the salvation of many souls. 

This series contains moments of emotional intensity and danger, as well as scenes of suspense and religious persecution. A character slaps another character. Moments of mild supernatural suspense and fear are also depicted. Raised voices and arguments appear throughout the story.
