The Catholic Lens

Friends of Rohan and Middle-earth, David DiCerto saddles up to review The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim through a Catholic lens. Set almost 200 years before the events of Tolkien's trilogy, this stunning animated prequel tells the story of Helm Hammerhand, his heroic daughter Héra, and the creation of Helm's Deep. Does it honor Tolkien's moral vision, or stray from his timeless themes? Join David as he delves into this visually breathtaking and emotionally resonant tale. Topics include: Moral universes: Tolkien's world vs. modern narratives Themes of loyalty, hope, mercy, and honor Avoiding modern gender politics in a timeless tale Why The War of the Rohirrim feels true to Tolkien's spirit Key takeaway: In a world often void of moral order, this film offers a glimpse of loyalty and hope, reminding us that "hope has yet to abandon these lands."
