458
00:34:11,110 --> 00:34:12,840
This is what he would've
been imbibing, you know,

459

Throughout his whole life,
you know, as a catholic.

460

that the miraculous people

by the fact that kolbe,

470
00:34:38,010 --> 00:34:40,910
Profoundly shaped by poland
and polish catholicism,

471

Went to nagasaki and founded an
outpost of his movement there.

472
00:34:44,850 --> 00:34:47,350

to be a polish catholic

473
00:34:47,410 --> 00:34:49,080
In japan at that time

474
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,620
Is to get some sort of education

475
00:34:50,720 --> 00:34:52,400
In the social construction
of reality

476
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,370
And to know that our categories

477
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,170
Are provisional and much more
relative than we might think,

478
00:34:57,240 --> 00:34:59,740
You know, if we live
in one society all our lives.

479
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:01,840
The connection I'm trying
to make is that I imagine

480
00:35:01,910 --> 00:35:04,450
That that somehow
shaped his later openness

To sheltering jews
in the convent.

482

If only for a short time.

484
00:35:10,070 --> 00:35:11,900
-Yeah, and the key
is meeting people, right?

485
00:35:11,940 --> 00:35:15,540
You go from ideas,
and theologies, and doctrines

486
00:35:15,580 --> 00:35:17,740
To experiences and individuals.

487
00:35:17,850 --> 00:35:20,250
You know, for example,
don't just talk about the poor,

488
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:21,580
Meet people who are poor.

489
00:35:21,620 --> 00:35:23,010
Don't just talk
about homeless people,

490
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,170
Meet someone who is,
you know, unhoused.

491
00:35:25,240 --> 00:35:27,200
I mean, that's what jesus
does in the gospels, right?

492
00:35:27,240 --> 00:35:32,570
It's not just the leper, or the
samaritan, or the centurion.

And to get people from his time
to understand their stories,

495
00:35:37,780 --> 00:35:40,250
Their experiences,
and to meet them as people,

496
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:41,620
Not just as categories.

497
00:35:41,720 --> 00:35:43,240
And that's what I see
in his story.

498

00:35:46,740 --> 00:35:48,870
-And says, should I feed
the jewish people, too?

501
00:35:48,910 --> 00:35:50,780
-Yeah. The man's hungry,
feed him.

502
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,540
-And she was surprised, too.
-Yeah, and she was surprised.

503
00:35:52,580 --> 00:35:55,050
-To me, the final conclusion
of his life

504
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,420
Ratifies everything
that came before.

505
00:35:57,450 --> 00:35:59,600
Not that it says
antisemitism is okay,

506
00:35:59,700 --> 00:36:01,570
But that this journey
that he was on,

507
00:36:01,610 --> 00:36:04,410
Which ultimately leads
to his complete sacrifice,

508
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,210
His complete self-gift,

509
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,210
You know, tells us a lot about
the spiritual life,

510
00:36:09,250 --> 00:36:10,610
In general, right?

511
00:36:10,710 --> 00:36:13,180
-Basically, his life
was life during wartime.

512
00:36:13,250 --> 00:36:15,020
-Yeah.
-There was world war I...

513
00:36:15,070 --> 00:36:16,670
His father died...

514
00:36:16,740 --> 00:36:18,400
There was a little break,
and they went to war again.

515
00:36:18,510 --> 00:36:20,240
-Exactly.
-They were thinking about death

516
00:36:20,340 --> 00:36:22,940
And what you would do in those
circumstances all the time

517
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,780
Because that period
was a relatively constant war.

518
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,380
-Yeah, I think it's important
to see that this culture,

519
00:36:29,420 --> 00:36:31,370
Which I think is so foreign
to people today,

520
00:36:31,420 --> 00:36:33,200
This really intense,

521
00:36:33,240 --> 00:36:35,440
Almost overheated
catholic culture

522
00:36:35,540 --> 00:36:36,910
Where everything
was about the church

523
00:36:37,010 --> 00:36:38,740
And everything revolved
around the church...

524
00:36:38,780 --> 00:36:40,240
-How was it overheated, though?
Help me understand...

525
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:41,340
-Well, I mean overheated
in the sense --

526
00:36:41,410 --> 00:36:43,010
Just really intense, right?

527
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,910
And constantly talking about
the saints, and suffering,

528
00:36:44,950 --> 00:36:46,680
And the sacraments,

529
00:36:46,750 --> 00:36:48,570
I think, in a way that is hard

530
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,740
For modern day catholics
to understand,

531
00:36:50,770 --> 00:36:52,670
You know,
what that world was like.

532
00:36:52,740 --> 00:36:55,270
And so, for a kid
to have an experience like that,

533
00:36:55,380 --> 00:36:57,740
They would have been involved
in the lives of the saints.

534
00:36:57,780 --> 00:37:02,080
In a sense, this is a world that
is almost as distant from us as,

535
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,080
You know, the world
of the early christian church.

536
00:37:04,180 --> 00:37:06,900
-So, I think children now,

537
00:37:06,940 --> 00:37:10,570
Even not in a "overheated"
environment,

538
00:37:10,610 --> 00:37:14,580
Have spiritual opinions
and spiritual callings.

539
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,410
Do you think, in a way,
it's possible for all of us,

540
00:37:17,510 --> 00:37:19,780
Or even in this
more secular age?

541
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,770
-Yeah, I mean, I think children
are naturally religious,

542
00:37:21,870 --> 00:37:24,040
But I guess what I'm saying
is the difference is

543
00:37:24,070 --> 00:37:25,700
You're not telling your son

544
00:37:25,740 --> 00:37:27,540
Everyone outside of the catholic
church is going to hell.

545
00:37:27,570 --> 00:37:29,840
You know what I mean?
-Not so far...

546
00:37:29,910 --> 00:37:31,040
[ laughter ]

547
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,050
-There was a pretty common
idea in european

548
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,710
Christianity at that time that

549
00:37:35,750 --> 00:37:39,330
Jesus kind of paid a debt
by going onto the cross.

550
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,700
"in adam's fall, we sinned all."

551
00:37:41,740 --> 00:37:45,010
And that the sin of adam
had to be kind of canceled out

552
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:46,510
By the crucifixion of jesus.

553
00:37:46,580 --> 00:37:48,280
That's the kind of thinking
that kolbe

554
00:37:48,380 --> 00:37:49,910
Would've been familiar with,

555
00:37:49,950 --> 00:37:52,750
That he offered his life
as a kind of payback, almost.

556
00:37:52,780 --> 00:37:54,350
Jesus gave his life for us.

557
00:37:54,420 --> 00:37:57,070
Now, it's up to us
to give our lives

558
00:37:57,100 --> 00:37:59,350
To kind of balance things out.

559
00:37:59,410 --> 00:38:00,670
-Well, I mean...

560
00:38:00,740 --> 00:38:02,610
-We don't think that way
so much anymore,

561
00:38:02,710 --> 00:38:04,340
But it was pretty common
at the time, I think.

562
00:38:04,410 --> 00:38:06,780
-Well, and also the way the
gospels were interpreted, right?

563
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,850
You know,
the so-called blood libel,

564
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,250
Let his blood be upon us
as the crowd says.

565
00:38:11,350 --> 00:38:13,100
-Exactly.
The sins of the father.

566
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,240
-Yeah, and it wasn't until
the second vatican council

567
00:38:15,340 --> 00:38:17,110
Where they finally said

568
00:38:17,210 --> 00:38:19,870
That the jewish people
were not responsible,

569
00:38:19,910 --> 00:38:22,180
Then or now,
for the death of jesus.

570
00:38:22,250 --> 00:38:24,050
It takes a while, and I think
it's important to see,

571
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,510
Without excusing it,
where he's coming from

572
00:38:26,580 --> 00:38:28,870
And what he was taught
and what his theology was.

573
00:38:28,900 --> 00:38:31,270
And you know,
thank god we've moved past that.

574
00:38:31,370 --> 00:38:34,240
-There's no consideration
on kolbe's part,

575
00:38:34,270 --> 00:38:37,240
"do I deserve
to be in this camp?"

576
00:38:37,340 --> 00:38:40,180
He's already so far past that by
the time we see him in the camp.

577
00:38:40,250 --> 00:38:41,510
-Oh, yes.

578
00:38:41,580 --> 00:38:43,420
-Instead of bewailing
his fate, he...

579
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,830
Resigned isn't
the right word.

580
00:38:45,900 --> 00:38:48,870
A recognition that he's unlikely
to leave this place.

581
00:38:48,910 --> 00:38:51,610
And so, how can he live most
authentically while he's there?

582
00:38:51,710 --> 00:38:53,780
-I think a lot of people
think the martyrs court death,

583
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,040
They want death,
they seek death.

584
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:57,210
-They don't.
-They don't.

585
00:38:57,250 --> 00:38:58,750
And there's a sense of, I mean,

586
00:38:58,780 --> 00:39:00,620
The piety at the time
would've been,

587
00:39:00,720 --> 00:39:03,740
That was a kind of triumph,
but we see what he's doing.

588
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,740
I mean, he's not dying
just for the sake of dying.

589
00:39:05,770 --> 00:39:07,870
He's dying for the sake
of another person.

590
00:39:07,910 --> 00:39:09,740
It's a sacrifice,
and he's doing it,

591
00:39:09,780 --> 00:39:12,580
You know, out of love
for this other person,

592
00:39:12,610 --> 00:39:14,910
Which I think really
helps us understand, like,

593
00:39:14,950 --> 00:39:16,950
The root of martyrdom,
which means witness.

594
00:39:17,050 --> 00:39:19,030
And he is really witnessing
the love.

595
00:39:19,070 --> 00:39:23,710
-And witnessing with
all nine others in that cell,

596
00:39:23,740 --> 00:39:25,440
You know, dying together.

597
00:39:25,540 --> 00:39:27,580
-There's also a sense
in martyrdom, I think,

598
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:31,410
Where it's a desire
to stay with people.

599
00:39:31,450 --> 00:39:33,580
But also, you know,
contemporary martyrs

600
00:39:33,620 --> 00:39:36,100
Like the jesuits in el salvador,

601
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,200
The american women
in el salvador,

602
00:39:38,240 --> 00:39:40,710
That they're standing
with people who are suffering.

603
00:39:40,740 --> 00:39:43,410
And the net result of that
is<i> their</i> death.

604
00:39:43,510 --> 00:39:46,610
Right? So, it's not that, again,
they choose this death.

605
00:39:46,710 --> 00:39:48,850
It's that by aligning
themselves,

606
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:50,750
And being with, and being
in solidarity with people

607
00:39:50,850 --> 00:39:53,400
Who are struggling, they die.

608
00:39:53,500 --> 00:39:56,570
And it's unthinkable
for them to leave.

609
00:39:57,410 --> 00:39:58,840
-It's amazing.

610
00:39:58,910 --> 00:40:00,440
-It's not like thomas becket,
who tells henry

611
00:40:00,540 --> 00:40:02,740
That he's got to go
think it over.

612
00:40:02,850 --> 00:40:04,350
-Exac-- maybe!

613
00:40:04,410 --> 00:40:06,210
-In this moment the commandant
says, we're taking 10 of you.

614
00:40:06,250 --> 00:40:10,270
And in that two minutes,
the rest of his life is decided.

615
00:40:10,370 --> 00:40:12,040
He is prepared for it,

616
00:40:12,070 --> 00:40:14,170
But it happens
more or less instantaneously.

617
00:40:14,240 --> 00:40:15,440
-Yeah, instantaneously.

618
00:40:15,540 --> 00:40:17,540
I mean, one
has to understand, too,

619
00:40:17,580 --> 00:40:19,910
That vision
that he had as a child,

620
00:40:19,950 --> 00:40:22,380
He understood the two crowns,
one is martyrdom.

621
00:40:22,420 --> 00:40:25,870
And in a sense, steeling himself
through his life

622
00:40:25,900 --> 00:40:28,940
To be ready when the time comes,
<i> if</i> it comes,

623
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:30,670
For martyrdom.

624
00:40:30,740 --> 00:40:33,170
I think it's something where
you think about it a great deal.

625
00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:36,240
You think about death,
you think about the pain of it.

626
00:40:36,350 --> 00:40:37,950
You think about
the circumstances

627
00:40:38,050 --> 00:40:40,520
In which you should submit
yourself to it.

628
00:40:40,580 --> 00:40:42,500
And I think he was probably...

629
00:40:43,570 --> 00:40:45,240
I really don't know,
but I'm just saying,

630
00:40:45,340 --> 00:40:46,740
If you're that...

631
00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:50,880
If you have such conviction
at such an early age

632
00:40:50,910 --> 00:40:52,410
And it stays with you,

633
00:40:52,450 --> 00:40:54,050
Don't forget his mother
was with the benedictines,

634
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,020
His father was franciscan...
This is different.

635
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,200
When you're talk about
a serious catholic.

636
00:40:59,240 --> 00:41:01,240
This is very, very...

637
00:41:01,270 --> 00:41:02,570
This is the foundation
of their lives.

638
00:41:02,670 --> 00:41:04,010
There is no other life.

639
00:41:04,070 --> 00:41:05,540
-He could've picked, you know,

640
00:41:05,580 --> 00:41:07,940
He could have picked
self-preservation, right?

641
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:09,940
But my sense was that
at that moment,

642
00:41:10,050 --> 00:41:13,010
For him, there's only
one decision to make --

643
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:14,720
To sacrifice himself.

644
00:41:14,750 --> 00:41:16,700
-Right.
-That's right, that's right.
