A Telegraph article on the priest who said Mass on the set of TPOTC

Very interesting – the fellow has high family connections among intellectual, aristocratic Old Europe. But it was this passage that I found the most memorable:

Speaking at his home near the Roman-era Caracalla Baths – a room in the College of the Rosminian Fathers, a congregation founded in the 19th century – Charles-Roux recalled his discussions with the director: “I told him there, look here, in the meat trade you have two professions: the butcher and the person who makes the meat edible. You are the butcher and I make it edible at the altar. His reply was that that was exactly what he wanted to do.”

I guess that’s one way to look at it.
