El padrecito

El padrecito The good Priest is a 1964 Mexican comedy film produced by Jacques Gelman and directed by Miguel M. Delgado, starring Cantinflas.

Father Sebastin counsels the townspeople, lecturing them on their duties in a modern society. He used the collection plate to redistribute the towns wealth more evenly. When accused of communism, he quoted the 1891 socially conscious encyclical Rerum novarum. He even ventured into politics, with a veiled attack on the municipal president couched into a sermon. Eventually, he brokers a deal with the local political boss for some concessions for the poor of his parish.Critics generally viewed the film as typical of the later Cantinflas films, a moralizing feature slim on originality. But some found the religious themes indicative of the spirit of Latin American Catholicism. Pope John XXIII called the Second Vatican Council only two years earlier, and Moreno seemed to be embracing the reforms it espoused as the remedy for Mexicos poverty. ........
