Hi,
I heard about your documentary from Angelo Izzo, a mutual friend (of your father’s?) I am intrigued because over the past three years, working out of a workshop at The Marsh theater, I have written a one actor play entitled
STAND-UP PRIEST. I did not write it as a “Catholic Play”. It is about a young man struggling to comit to a vocation that wo7uld answer his need to impact the world. He force fields possibilities down to two choices: either become a Catholic Priest or a professional stand up comedian.
I am that person and the time is 1959. The play is the telling of several anecdotes that actually occured to me in 1968-1970 It is neither a “Mommy Dearest, bomb throwing exercise blasting the church nor an ‘Apologia Pro Via Sua’ promoting the Church. It is my story-lots of laughter and a couple of tears-I would love to share more with you all at some time, if you would have the time. I want to view your movie. Good job!

I am interested in seeing the film. Of equal importance I would like a brief conversation with either Simone or Corita. I am a former priest (1968-1970) and have developed a play while a student at The Marsh Theater in San Francisco: STAND-UP PRIEST. Opposite of your father, I was in pursuit of my dad’s blessing. Couldn’t decide to become either a Stand Up Comedian (my core talent set) or a Priest. Became a priest. The play tells some anecdotes and has equal amounts of humor and pathos. I have been encouraged to create a film from the play. I did not leave for the immediate needs your dad did. However, I do have a wife and beautiful daughter (15),but we differ on Celibacy. Thanks.

BRAVO!!! As the daughter of a former priest and nun, I loved the movie. Story number 1 mirrors my life and childhood as I remember it. What a great loss to the Catholic Church– all these amazingly spiritual and committed men and women. I have been blessed to be a part of the Maryknoll family all of my life. Thank you for the courage and interest in sharing our story!

Sorry to rain on your parade but I was in love with a priest at one time who shunned me while flirting with everyone else. The years have passed and after a lifetime of serving God he is now hugely fat and mean as hell. I believe Jesus saved me from a disastrous marriage with that man.

I married a divorcee, equally scandalous, who had been in a disastrous marriage of a quarter of a century and who brought into the world 5 very confused children with “bad genes.” Now we’re raising the son of one of her children who died of inflammatory breast cancer years ago. The longer I’m married, the more misguided the Vatican appears. Having been on both sides of the fence, I KNOW. My Dr theol from Muenster became useless when I was ostracized from all possible teaching positions. So we have paid our price, too, and are now on Social Security.
