James Carroll's book Constantine's Sword has become a film opening on April 18.

There is a free word-of-mouth screening for area clergy or religious leaders and educators, to take place at 7:30 pm on April 8th at the Jewish Community Center in Manhattan (334 Amsterdam Avenue at 76th street). Following the screening, audience members will be able to engage in a candid Q and A with director Oren Jacoby. Seats are limited, so please RSVP to shira.dicker@sd-media.com as soon as possible.

The film’s theatrical release on April 18th is especially timely as the Pope will be visiting New York City at that time. In the film, Carroll raises difficult questions about Pope Benedict’s leadership.
