film old 1896

There might be one or two persons even older, but this film and person are easily verifiable. Summary of Aeterni Patris from wikipedia.com: “As pope, he used all his authority for a revival of Thomism, the theology of Thomas Aquinas. On 4 August 1879, Leo XIII promulgated the encyclical Aeterni Patris ("Eternal Father"), which, more than any other single document, provided a charter for the revival of Thomism, the medieval theological system based on the thought of Aquinas – as the official philosophical and theological system of the Catholic Church. It was to be normative not only in the training of priests at church seminaries but also in the education of the laity at universities.” With exceptions, Catholic universities and highs schools ignore Leo.
