The Rev. Robert Barron, author (and host) of the widely successful book (and series) Catholicism, which was reviewed recently in America by Tim Reidy, reviews the hit movie “The Hunger Games,” from a very Catholic (and very thoughtful) point of view.  (Certainly it’s the only review you’ll probably see that mentions Rene Girard’s scapegoating mechanism.)  Well worth a view in case you’re a little confused or, as I am, disturbed, by the success of the book and movie. 

The Rev. James Martin, S.J., is a Jesuit priest, author, editor at large at America and founder of Outreach.
