“Rocchio's innovative, challenging thesis is that Vatican II's project remains unfinished: Catholicism never developed an aesthetic that conveys our 'mutuality with the divine.' Placing works of film and television in dialogue with both the insights of media critics and a meditation on the way of the cross, no other book so powerfully brings together aesthetic theory, media, and a radical theology embracing the example of that itinerant healer who walked with the poor.”
