Description
SAINTS AND SINNERS follows the challenging journey of a devoutly Catholic gay couple determined to marry in a Catholic church. Caring more about formalizing their seven-year union within the Catholic tradition than legal recognition by the state, Edward DeBonis and Vincent Maniscalco pursue their dream, despite the expected rejection from their church's hierarchy. Determined to celebrate their relationship on their terms, the couple presses on with the preparations. But their efforts and search to find a Catholic Church where they can perform the ceremony are to no avail. For Edward, who grew up as an altar boy, and Vincent, who was baptized at Old St. Patrick's Cathedral in Little Italy and who attends Sunday Mass regularly, getting married outside the Catholic tradition is not an option. The couple books St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Manhattan, converts it to suit a Catholic mass and invites a gay Catholic priest to perform the ceremony. Even as previously supportive family members express their reservations about receiving communion from a gay man, Edward and Vincent audaciously seek to become the first gay Catholic couple to have their wedding announcement published in the New York Times. SAINTS AND SINNERS is a highly timely vision of love and commitment, which demonstrates that the struggle for equal rights is not just about legal benefits, but the aspiration to find acceptance and affirmation, rather than rejection, from one's chosen religion.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.
