A few years ago.

PRAYING IS NOT ENOUGH

Think that, at least, he died in faith.

That gave him comfort.

We don't know hot to thank you.

l'd like to pay you somehow.

When this is over, ll send a donation to your church.

No, do not worry.

Thanks, Father.

Why did you break the window” Answer me, damn it. Why did you do it?

PIl put you in jail. There you'll learn.

Why did you break the window”?

You did iton purpose, animal. Say something!

Why did you do it? | should send you to prison.

Look, Father, look what he did.

Maybe he'll tell you why he did it.

- But look, Father. - Please, calm down, Mrs. Cecilia.

- What's going on? - lts not such a big deal.

Pll take care of him. Let him go!

Take him with you, Father. Anyway, he won't pay me back.

Itwas probably by chance.

- There is no problem. - lts ok. Goodbye.

Next time, Father Jaime won't be here to defend you.

Ok. Let's go.

Hey. Why did you break the window”?

lt seems death is around us this week, Father.

P've celebrated 3 requiems, and you did one last rites.

Indeed, don't?

Well, let me introduce you this young man.

P've just saved him from jalil.

He won't tell me his name.

He's too clean to be an orphan.

What's your name?

Let's see your tongue.

It's in the right place.

He will make him talk.

He's an expert on windows.

Look, that's Jesuschrist, and that one, washing his hands is Pilate.

- Who”? - Pilate, you moron!

Don't you know”?

He plays deat and doesn't mess his hands.

Juan, ve told you to tie that dog up!

Where's Sara? Why doesn't she answer the door!

Father, good evening. Come in.

Madam is waiting for you.

Good evening. lt seems l'm not very welcome here.

Father Jaime, please forgive us.

Here, no one pays attention. | told them to lock up the dog

- but they dont listen. - lt doesn't matter.

It's very natural, anyway.

If Capitán weren't here, anyone would break in.

They've attempted to climb the fence. People from uphill.

Settlers, people from the underworld.

Pll go visit you one of these days.

We're collecting used stuff to create the Poor People's Closet.

And were also preparing the Christmas celebration.

Buying toys, school items.

Claudio is waiting for you.

| hope you could help us.

- lll be a pleasure. By any possible means. -Thank you.

Last night and since midnight,

workers from the main companies inthe area

started an alert strike before what they qualified as

"an employer offensive against the working class".

Demonstrations

were held this morning at the main streets,

hindering the traffic of particular vehicles,

as well as public transport.

A large number of people was arrested due to these incidents

started by the demonstrators.

Good evening.

What a delightful surprise, father.

You had been lost.

- Have a seat. - No, thank you very much.

A glass of wine?

No. This is a short visit.

My visit is about our conversation on sunday, after the mass.

You offered to supply our hospital.

Oh, yes. I'm sorry, father.

| totally forgot it.

l've had so many problems this week.

At the shipyard,

excessive wage rises,

lists of demands,

etc.

Anyway, they think we earn too much.

For me, that's only political chit-chat.

This ls the last model we are producing.

It's costs me a fortune, but l've been forced to sell it almost at cost price.

- It's a production problem. - The sanitary authorities

have failed to detect the cause of the typhus epidemic

that has been declared in Puertas Negras.

Many people have died,

and the situation has deteriorated.

by the lack of drinking water on the area.

But they don't understand.

And they think the budget | present is fake.

They dont stop to think that without trust,

there's no cooperation, and everything goes wrong.

What if your parishioners

wouldn't trust you? Everything would be wrong.

The church, the hospital, everything!

| hope this is enough for your more upcoming expenses.

Here you are.

It's all | can give.

Some emergency measures have been taken to fight back the epidemic.

l already have my own tragedies!

The infection will carry on until the causes are discovered.

This is much worse than we had thought, Father.

| cant understand why the epidemic affected only this side of town.

If only we asked questions for each of God's ways!

| don't think God spends his time

spreading typhus fever over these poor people.

Beware! The wall separing sarcasm from blasphemy

Is very weak.

You seem doubtful about the essence of our mystery.

When you think about it, our path has been quite a metaphor.

WWe climb towards pain, we raise towards it.

It's our condition, out duty.

No. | don't believe ina everlasting pain.

| think of the Son of God healing the sick,

raising Lazarus from the dead.

Turning water into wine.

Dont forget the poor are God's favorite ones.

They are sitting at His right hand.

That brings a piece of mind to many people.

Especially to those who doesn't share this poverty.

You, youngsters, speak of injustice too lightly.

Evening.

lts the consequence of such a fast life.

When that kind of talk begun in Spain, disaster overcame.

Let's give time to problems, so they solve by themselves.

- Good Evening. - Good Evening. How are you?

A bit tired, | notice. Isnt it?

Here's the chloromycetin.

You got it! It's sold out everywhere!

Dont tell me you're a miracleworker from time to time.

- Would you have a drink? - No, thanks.

It's good against germs, Father.

- Well, if that's so... - Have a drink.

- Father? - No, Thank you very much.

Well, cheers!

Here you are, for the essential goods.

lts from the owner of the shipyard.

It's good to see there are still some charitable christians out there!

want to show you something interesting.

Come with me.

Careful not to fall.

See that?

Here are the causes.

l've told them a thousand times to block this place.

But they don't listen.

They keep on doing paperwork, reports,

and certificates.

Dont forget the $1 stamps, or else, its worthless.

And once they've written them down,

they're, send, recieved, and archived,

and they justify their salary.

And everyone is happy.

AII but these poor devils suffering their typhus epidemic due to lack of water.

and their cronic misery epidemic, due to lack of bread,

clothes, housing, and education!

Many of these children have physical flaws and mental handicaps,

due to lack of meat or milk.

My friends, we don't get nothing signing down checks,

or subsidizing a hospital.

lts very easy to buy on advance a good box in Heaven's amphitheater,

and going to bed with a clean conscience.

Anyway, let's stop talking about philosophy.

Right now let's focus on fighting the epidemic back.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

We've recieved the following pastoral for us to read on today's mass.

Valparaíso, 9th of December, 1967.

lt is prohibited throughout the territory of the Diocese of Valparaíso

the use of the swimsuit known as bikini.

To all women,

regardless her age.

Those who persevere in this actitude, won't be able to take communion.

This goes as well to parents and tutors that allow this on their daughters.

Some young ladies may say,

that this particular way of dressing

is more comfortable, even more hygenic.

But...

Ifits a great danger

to soul's health, and it's close enough,

then it's no longer hygene for your soul,

and it's your duty to abandon it.

How many young ladies,

who think there's no fault, in following with docility

these shameless fashions,

would blush

if they would guess the impression and the feelings,

of those watching them.

Swear in His name, and in the name of he who built his Home,

and he, who swore in the name of Heaven,

swears in the name of God's throne,

and in the name of who is seated on it.

and in the name of who is seated on it.

Woe to youl

fake scribes and Pharisees,

for you tithe with mint, dill and cumin,

and you left aside the most serious issues of the law.

The fair judgment mercy and good faith.

These had to be practiced,

and those not neglet them,

blind guides who filter the mosquito, and swallow the camel.

Careful, Jaime! It may be dangerous!

And now I'll tell one about a priest.

Its a priest who hated Spaniards.

lt turns out that this priest always, around Holy Week,

when he gave his sermon at the pulpit, and talked about the treason of Judas,

told that him, in a certain point,

reached up to the Lord, and, ina serious mood, asked him:

WWill be |, my Lord, the one who betrayes you?

| knew that joke, but...

the truth is that the ones this priest hated,

were the Argentinians.

You aren't fond of priest's jokes?

Were there many wounded in yesteraday's riots?

But, why are these people protesting”?

| don't understand what's happening here!

It's not clear, ifitis for Vietnam War,

or labour problems. There's always a pretext for this kind of things

But, what do we have to do with Vietnam?

VWWe live in Chile.

WWell, it's true that in that Vietnam affair there has been genocide.

No one can deny that.

What does genocide means”?

That atrocities have been committed, on both sides.

Some more than the others, of course.

But it's a war.

And a war has never been a good thing.

- Just as his Highness said. - You know, Father Justo...

lthink that the U.S. should get out of Vietnam.

lts another continent. The Vietnamese could solve their problems on their own.

lts an strategy and tactic matter.

We've got the Cold War, and everything else.

The U.S. need an honorable way out. They are the best!

What an honourable way out. Killing people!

Maybe they're communists, but they're human beings, aren't they?

But, with so many Chinese out there...

You know, there are so many people right now on the world,

that they're sending them to the moonl

There you are, with this scientific desire to explain it all!

One of these days, they'I| want also to explain the mystery of the Holy Trinity.

There's a lot of arrogance on that.

But | think, science is the most important thing.

What do you think, Jaime?

Sorry, | wasn't paying attention.

How many were yesterday's wounded?

About four. One is serious. A gas can hit him in the eye.

They ask for it. They go to the streets to provoke.

Its a shame, of course. Maybe that poor man has a wife and children.

On Noon Mass, on Sunday, | talked against violence.

Now, if they don't want to come to our church...

it's Up to them.

Maybe we should go where they are!

¡No

There is a commandment that compels them to assist the Holy Mass!

And it must be done in the House of the Lordl

We shouldn't be so sure where His House is, Father!

Please, let's avoid discussions.

The dog bit a kid who came asking for Father Jaime.

How awful!

This is the last straw: letting that beast loose.

This dog will kill somebody.

P've said it a thousand times.

What happened, son?

l was at the church,

and my mom told me

to come to call you right away.

Your mom?

Mi dad is dying, because a gas can hit him in the eye.

| beg you excuse me before your guests and your husband, but | have to...

- lll have that dog locked up. - Thank you very much.

Dont forget that on Monday, we'll have the distribution of toys.

- | told the ladies you'll be present. - Thank you very much.

- They were delighted. - Thank you very much!

And dont forget about the kid, Father. Capitán is a very clean dog,

and is vaccinated against rabies.

Heal his arm, and give him an antirabies shot.

What happened?

Don Osses's dog bit him.

They were looking for me, because his father is wounded.

- Who is he? - Pedro Carrasco.

He was wounded during yesterday's disturbances.

These people's guards work on every level.

Some beats the father, the others, beat the son.

He's on the other room. Shall we?

Thanks, Father, for coming. My husband is in very bad shape.

Who called a Priest?

Tell him to go away!

María! Tell him to go away!

Fuck! l'm not going to die!

You'll better leave. You're upsetting him.

It's not a big deal, Father.

You're doing it wrong.

Straighten it up! Nol To the other side!

Now it's ok. My Goa, this girl...

Help, help!

My Goal! It's almost time, and you're still so behind? Hurry!

A little bit higher.

Your daughter does extremely well the role of Virgin Mary.

Not yet! Put that away!

- Mrs. Laura, shall | let the kids in? - No, what are you thinking?

- Father, how are you? - Good Evening.

HL

Shut the door, asshole!

You're doing great!

Oh, what a cool kid!

The Three Wise Kings! Gaspar, Melchior, Balthasar.

|, King Gaspar, have brought you...

Oh, Savior, this chest of gold.

|, King Balthasar, came to praise you, Oh, Savior,

and have brought you this chest of cincense.

Incensel

Of cincense.

|, King Melchior, have brought you myrrh, you King of Kings.

Virgin Mary, let the Wise Kings see the Child.

Stop! Now the shepherds, come on!

Hey, do you know where Pedro Carrasco lives?

Mom, it's Father Jaime!

Father Jaime, what a pleasure. You know, l've been thinking of you.

- Good evening. -May | talk to your husband? -Yes, go ahead.

- Which way? - This way.

He's so stubborn! He insists on getting up.

- How are you”? Good to see you. - How are you? Have a seat.

Sorry for the darkness, my doctor prescribed it.

María, turn on the light.

You must see the other's face when you talk,

- But the doctor said that... - Put on a screen, then.

Daniel, offer some water to the Father.

No, thank you very much.

was worried about the other day.

- lt doesnt matter. - Daniel, turn on the light.

Il was all nervous with the bump.

l didn't mean to offend you.

It's alright.

Now leave us alone.

- You didnt oftend me. - | know you, and that's what counts.

l only believe in the people. l don't believe in ghosts, nor devils.

- That light. -No, don't move. You shouldn't do that.

Not even you guys believe in the Devil now a days.

| didn't come here to discuss with you about dogmas.

Look, | don't know how to call you, but...

this Father thing doesn't suit me.

Well, call me "my friend".

With all due respect, my friend.

I've always accepted Daniel going to your church.

If the old lady wants it that way.

At least, he's not fooling around on the streets.

But | have my ideas, and | fight for them my own way.

If they take out my eye...

think that | still have the other... Do you understand me?

lP've been 20 years doing this.

l have grown up kids...

Some of them are dead.

Daniel, go with your mom.

And don't say a word. My ears are still good.

And so are my hands.

P've nothing against priests nor the church.

But they have never helped me.

Pardon me if I'm a bit rude, but...

Ya like to be clear.

But you keep on changing the subject.

Pd like to have a longer talk with you, when you're better.

Pedro, your friends of the labor union

are here. Theyve just occupied the factory.

Excuse me, Father.

Do not worry. l had to leave, anyway.

Come back whenever you want to continue with this conversation.

only understand the things of this world, albeit.

We'll talk about them. I'm also interested in them.

Go ahead.

Come in.

Good evening.

- Good bye, Father. Don't be a stranger. - See you soon.

Father Jaime?

A word, please.

The strike has lasted a month, and we're running out on everything.

Just imagine, with a baby, and small kids.

We're not begging for alms, but for some help.

Which are God's Commandaments?

Love God above all things.

Do not swear his holy name in vain.

Sanctify the holidays.

Honor your father and mother.

You shall not kill.

You shall not fornicate.

You shall not steal.

You shall not bear false witness, nor lie.

You shall not covet your neighbor's wife.

You shall not covet your neighbor's goods.

Which are the dangers of mankind?

The world, the demon, and the flesh!

We're short on that, aren't we, Father?

WWell, for tomorrow, you'll bring me the Deadly Sins.

Go now.

What is it that we're shont at?

Meat, milk. Everything.

And youre still hanging around with your strikers?

If not for these innocent creatures wouldn't give you even a crumb.

| don't understand your charity, Father.

What do we know about their conflicts?

Who gives us the right to even make our statements?

Do you know what a strike ¡s like”?

The next one.

- Here you are, madam. Your name”? - María Ordóñez.

Sow some wind, and reap whirlwinds.

How much ingratitude is in these people. Such arrogance.

Those are only words, Father.

How to put arrogance over hunger”? Ingratitude over plunder?

But this won't be enough, Father!

We can't undress our saints to dress others, can we?

Besides, your help to the strikers,

is harming our relations with one of our best parishioners.

'm not so sure that Osses is a good parishioner.

- Father, you've got the key”? - No.

- What will we do”? - We'll see.

Who is over therel

AGAINST THE WAGES OF HUNG...

Cops, run!

Here are the pigs!

Come onl

A little silence here, please. What is the reason of this strike?

May | talk with one of the leaders?

- Calm down, comrades. -How many of the workers are striking?

All of the workers are here. We've all agreed.

- How are you doing, folks”? - Here we are, waiting for a solution.

- We're bringing some goods. - Come in, Father.

Help him.

How are you doing, ok?

Here we are, keeping up.

VWe are thanktful for your help. We needed it.

Praying isn't enough anymore.

If you remain passive,

praying is just a device,

just a way to escape.

Praying isn't enough anymore.

Naturally, we can't take sides on the conflict.

The solution will depend on the willingness from the employers side.

We have already brought some food for the common stew,

and we are organizing a collection with Father Jaime,

to buy the goods we're missing.

He'd like to offer himself as a mediator, to find a solution.

If you remain passive,

praying is just a device,

just a way to escape.

Praying ¡isn't enough, anymore.

| know | shouldnt interfere on your business, but...

l've seen the state of your homes, and | don't think you can resist much longer.

Listen to me. | know the manager of the factory.

| could say he's my personal friend. He's a good christian.

Allow me to represent you, as l intercede before him.

want you to understand very well one thing.

And don't misunderstand us.

Only the union leadership represent the striking workers.

We are the ones who handle the conflict,

And we speak from peer to peer with the managment.

We appreciate your help,

as we appreciate with the other demonstrations of solidarity.

Excuse me, comrades. Some students are here,

they came to give us their support.

Please, comrade. Serve the gentlemen.

Ifyou excuse us.

No offense, but we know how to deal with our stuff.

“To mantain our order.

You dont learn these things overnight.

This is an union conflict, with its own rules.

Its own ways.

We appreciate your good faith, but we don't think your methods will work.

“The managment has their position, and so do us.

This is not a matter of christian feelings,

and your friend, the manager, can't see it that way, either.

- lt was the same in the seminar. - What?

“That dumb feeling, just after you did what you thought it was right.

That's not the point.

| don't think you know these people well enough.

Theyve got their pride, their class dignity.

You have to know how to cope with them.

l've been > years working with the working class.

You have to understand their worries and channel them.

lts the only way we have to save them.

You, on your church, know people like the manager,

and a lot of pious old ladies.

But here is the bulk of souls we should worry about.

Until now, | felt convenient, confused,

simplist. But you, with your paternalism, aren't doing any better than me.

There's such a force in them, l don't know...

really, if its their souls we should worry about.

A kind of force that, not even you, in

those > years, have been able to discover.

| don't understand you, Father Jaime.

You want to intercede for a bunch of hotheads,

that don't even represent the whole of my workers.

And who are acting for mere political motives.

They dont know how the company runs, nor it's real problems.

Look at this list of demands.

lts ridiculous.

If | granted half of the requests, l'd be ruined by the end of month.

The company isn't well, we don't have enough support from the Treasury.

They drown us in taxes,

and they pretend to be stimulating the private sector.

You know me well, my friend. l've never denied any help for your poor people.

P've done everything it's possible to make them change the situation.

But this is business.

lts a complex process. There is competition.

You have to lower your costs. Everything.

They'd force me to go out of business.

And |'m sure they"ll lose more than me. | don't know if you follow me.

im trying to.

There are things that won't fit on any kind of arrangement.

A fair arrengment.

P've just come asking for help.

And | cant believe you're refusing to give it to me.

Mr. Osses. Your lawyer on the phone.

Hello?

Yes.

At last!

Did you get my message?

Yes.

lsee.

It's ¡legal.

The public force.

When?

Tell the leaders that, by a court order, l'll be able to evict them.

It's very important!

If we get them out of the company, the movement will break apart.

Ok. Anyway, make them proceed with care.

There's irreplaceable machinery.

Keep me in notice. Thanks.

Don't ask me to keep a secret on what you just said,

because this | understand very well!

Well, and what do you want?

Which side are you on?

Father Jaime, what a surprise! was just going to see you.

- We've got a bridge-tea party... - No, excuse me, | can't now!

But, Father Jaimel

Pure Chile, and your blue skies,

pure are the breezes that run across you too.

And your fields of embroyered flowers,

are the happiest copy of Eden.

Majestic ¡is the white mountain,

which the Lord gave you as a stronghold.

Which the Lord gave you as a stronghold.

And that sea bathing you in tranquility...

And that sea bathing you in tranquility...

It must be clearly understood,

especially by the young priests.

Confusion and precipitation

are the signs of this era.

l understand the priests interests

for temporal matters.

There is little time for meditation

and seclusion.

What youre talking about, son,

isn't new for me.

Leo XIll already said it,

inthe Rerum Novarum encyclical.

Work cannot be considered as merchandise

subjugated to the supply and demand law.

You cant speculate with wages, nor the lives of men.

But beware of exceeding on the interpretation.

Some think this is an authorization

to start a revolution.

| don't need to remind you the responsabilities

your ministry confers you.

There are rumors going around. ..

P'm not here trying to stop you on your decision.

| hope you've taken it with the proper ammount of reflection.

If you believe you must take the Holy Mass to the slums,

it doesn't harms anybody.

We've had that discussion enough times.

| wish you succeed on your mission.

You leave behind many collaborators

and members of the congregation in dismay.

Mrs. Osses has been calling for that Poor Peoples Closet thing.

lt seems I'll have to replace you also in that issue.

You leave me a huge task.

Don't worry, | guess my replacement will arrive soon enough.

l' can explain you every problem this church has.

Here you are,

maybe it will come handy.

lt seems l've been influenced too much by them.

| don't want to consider this as your resignation.

Thank you very much.

Don't you remember me?

Praying isn't anough anymore...

l agree with the meaning of that song.

Are you a carpenter?

Young men, young Christ,

is what today's world needs.

Young men, young Christ,

bring back our faith in love.

Young men, young Christ,

is what today's world needs.

Young men, young Christ,

bring back our faith in love.

Young men, young Christ,

is what today's world needs.

- But, then, tell us... - Please... Let's gol!

There's no way.

He refuses to accept the act of tresspassing.

We must fight!

Erth.

We call the workers of the shipyard,

to confront the employers predominance,

and to demand

the reinstatement of all of our comrades who were arbitrarily dismissed.

S»bah.

Jesus, the night he was betrayed, took the bread

And giving thanks, he blessed his Father.

He broke it

and then gave it to His disciples, saying:

"Take it, eat it;

"this is my body,

"which will be handed in for all of you"

"which will be handed in for all of you"

Holy, holy is the Lord.

Holy, holy God of the Universe.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the highest of heaven.

Holy, holy is the Lord.

Within the peace of Christ.

Within the peace of Christ.

| beg you, Lord, for my son who is ill.

| beg you, Lord, for my son who has just born.

| beg you, Lord, so we have a good fishing.

Pm going to ask, to our community of Puertas Negras,

Evety help they can lend, to our comrades,

who are being victims of the employer's injustice.

who are being victims of the employer's injustice.

Gipsy! What do | do with these?

Take them there, to the cart.

It's a matter of solidarity.

Pm not asking for anything. Only what you wish to give.

Are you fucking with me”? Who helps me?

| get along on my own. Fuck off.

Come here, comrade. I'm going to help you.

Come with me.

Here everyone minds only their own business.

But | know we have to help our class.

l've been exploited too, and | know how it is.

As far as today.

Here she is.

An applausse for the girl.

Look at her. Who is she like?

She's just like me. Like her dadl

A very tricky verger

is laughing his pants off.

Making his own cropping,

hiding after Mass.

You are some trickster,

is what the priest told him.

You're collecting all the bits,

sure you've got some nerve.

You are some...

Where is the priest?

There he is, talking with grandma.

Come with me, Father.

Comel

Leave that old woman talking by herself.

Come and drink with me, inthe name of the girl.

No, thank you very much, | just had a drink.

And what is the problem with that?

You won't turn the baby down...

After you blessed her, you want to deny her a cheers.

Come on, at once, then.

1,2, 3l

Come on, buddy, have a drink with us.

Calm down, my friend. Bottoms up, isn't it?

Jaime, come with me.

If you keep on drinking like that, we'll have to carry you to bed.

How is your campaign going?

We do what we can. But we could Use some extra help.

There are many ways of helping. Some are better than others.

- Yes, but you have to understana... - Here you are, | lost you for a second!

Leave that crap over there, and come with me.

This is a baptize, not a funeral.

No, thank you very much. l've had enough.

And what do you think

baptizes are for? - Leave him alone!

Can't you see you're drunk”?

Who do you think you are? Your grandma is a drunk!

Don't bother mel Shit!

Where are you taking him”?

To sing dumb songs with that bunch of idiots?

An idealist young man, very unattached from reality.

Who ultimately became very ungrateful.

Nothing less than helping those damned,

instigating them against me.

And what do you want, Claudio?

Father Jaime is trying to help the poor people.

There are many ways to help the poor people, madam.

But some make mistakes along the way.

They forget that the poor are like children.

And it's to the heart of children where we must to get.

Praetorium class trembles as the mob aproaches,

As a volcano full of hatred

and abominations.

Here is Jesus.

spitted, humiliated.

Here is Pilate,

the coward.

Who doesnt dare to confront the angry mob.

PIT bring the accused one, once again.

And | repeat that Il can'ttfind on him

any crime worthy of his death.

And as if he wanted to soften the hard people,

he shows them the wounded body of Jesus, exclaiming:

"Here is the man!"

And the answer is an explosion of deicide anger.

Crucify him, crucify him!

Give him death!

Crucify him, crucify him!

Give him death!

Pilate washes his hands, saying:

"Innocent l am, of this fair man's blood".

You shall answer for it!

Then, as a hell's blow,

it crossed the square, turned into God's courtyard.

- Hello. - Hello, buddy, what's up?

Maybe there's work for 20 of you, but you'll have to fight for it.

There's people helping them.

They give them clothes and food. We want to stop that. Understood?

You just tell us their names.

Counterfit, isn't it?

How are you”?

How do you feel”?

Do you want something?

Coffee.

We should lynch that Osses fucker.

“That would be good.

Let's not exaggerate.

- Why not? - Do you want more bread?

Ido not accept violence.

Why not?

Because violence only brings more violence.

They almost kill you, and you talk with slogans.

What are you waiting for”?

Can't you see we must change the way we fight?

Gospel of Luke, ch. 12,

verses 49 to 53.

At that time, Jesus told his disciples:

| have come to bring fire on earth,

"and how | wish it were already kindled!

"But | have a baptism to undergo, and

how distressed | am until it is completed!

"Do you think | came to bring peace on earth?

"No, | tell you, but division.

What do you think about these Gospel's passage?

Praying isn't enough anymore.

If you remain passive,

praying is just a device,

just a way to escape.

Praying isn't enough anymore.

lts on the fight, in the action,

where the christian is tested.

Fighting for his brothers,

he succeeds in his religion.

And praying isn't enough for him.

And some media has been festing on the event.

You know how these things are.

No, | dont really know how these things are.

Something |'m learning.

lt's about freedom of work, Jaime.

Your workers aren't working, nor they are

allowing others, even poorer, to work.

And do you know where those others come from?

lt doesn't matter.

A true christian cant make distinctions.

lt doesn't matter where the violence comes from.

You can't act out of what happened to you.

It doesn't matter what happened to me.

You know that what they did to me

is what they've always done to the working class.

They are our enemies. They are our targets.

But, what do you want? To play the communist's game?

Well... And whose game are you playing?

Judas, Judas!

But, what do you want?

| can't do what this gentlemen want me to do.

We know that the accounts your bookkeeper gave us are fake.

You cant make those statements against

my client without sound proofs.

Colleague, we have proofs, and we'll use them if necessary.

Look, lawyer. I've always had the intention

to solve this conflict

the sooner, the better.

And in terms that favour you.

But under the actual conditions, the company just can't do it.

Your company has always been an excellent business.

And we beleive it still is.

So, we'll continue with the strike, until justice is achieved.

You won't be able to continue with it.

Your strike ¡is completely ¡legal.

Our report, for unjustified absence from the workplace, has been accepted,

And tomorrow we'll start hiring a new staff.

You talk a lot about the laws. But we're going to keep on fighting.

Iwent by your home. Your wife told me you were here.

Who is it going?

| knew about Osses. What are you going to do?

Read this. Chico bring in more paper, we're off schedule!

Ready.

May | help somehow”?

This cant go on.

We must join our shipyard comrades.

and to fold up to the movement with all of our union force.

Because this kind of moves are the ones of the employers.

And it's a kind of strategy that affects all the working class.

Therefore, comrades, the strike we're going to do next Thursday,

is not only a local strike, but a response to the system's violence.

A kind of violence we must not recreate.

The only help I'm asking you tor is that of pacific solidarity

for your brothers workers.

No one shall remain indifferent before injustice.

Look, Father, between work, and the preparations for celebrations,

we don't have any time left.

Plus, we don't want to get involved in politics.

- There's a guy following us. - Yes, he's Cristo de Palo.

Hey, stay there, and don't move. Tell us if cops are coming.

The other night, they caught some guys at Cerro Cordillera.

They released them the next day.

Ok, let's stop the chit-cbat.

Many cops come around here.

What's wrong with Cristo de Palo?

Cops!

Careful with the kid!

Everyone against the wall!

- Don't move, fucker! - Move on, now!

Good night.

Another one arrested for infringement the Internal Security Act of State

Thanks.

| believe we owe you an explanation.

We're not used to see priests involved in this kind of mess.

That's why the officer was a little rude with you.

But you must accept that much of the fault is on you.

You'll understand that the policeman's situation is quite complicated.

He was just fulfilling his duty, and he never imagined...

Nevermind.

What will happen to the rest of them?

They are under arrest. You may go.

The Principal has just recieved a phonecall from the bishopric

lregret...

that some of our most long-standing parishioners aren't with us today.

Because the oldies get tired a lot.

No. It's not that we don't need them,

But they dont seem to understand yet

which is our duty as christians, now a days.

Well. Today we are going to demonstrate along the workers,

but we'll do it in a tidy way, without violence.

| believe that our attitude, as christians,

now a days, is to stand against injustice.

The People, united, will never be defeated.

The People, united, will never be defeated.

The People, united, will never be defeated.

The People, united, will never be defeated.

To my christian friends, for their christianity. -Aldo Francia
