---"If there was no Higher Being, the theists maintain, there would be no morality, libertinism would reign and we would be the same as animals.
---"Not everything is lawful, then God exists," suggests Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky.
Because both opinions are wrong and science is confirming this: Morality and religion are independent things. "(From the article" Morality and Religion" of "Harmony Present")
plot:
""Ash Wednesday", directed by the great director Roberto Gavaldón, is for me one of the best films of Mexican cinema, a good drama with deep spiritual connotations. His argument is very intelligent, which, for the same reason, I will not tell, I will only confront the problem: the story is set in the 1920s in Mexico, a woman (Maria Felix) is raped by a Catholic priest and from that experience becomes enemy of the religion, especially of the priests, so it renders its services to the government to fight the cristeros and to end the religion. But a gallant (Arturo de Córdova), deeply Catholic, crosses in his life and awakens in her conflicting emotions that will jeopardize many of his beliefs, phobias and prejudices." From Angel Sanabria. Great religious drama of Mexican cinema.
