Wikipedia describes the origin different, so maybe the parallels were not intended:

The film is based on the true story of Holmsen's sister, a Norwegian, and her relationship with an Indian, whom she brings home for Christmas Eve. The film was released to negative reviews.

Might have gotten more publicity as it was used in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds as a Starfleet motto. Boimler in Lower Decks also has a poster with the motto on it.

What the fuck even is a catholic hospital? Praying the pain away? Offering a free confession close to death?

Surely they are not making use of modern medicine based on science that defies their beliefs.

Quick tip for moving accounts:

Export your profile from your current account, then import into the new one. Keeps subscriptions and even saved comments/posts, but doesn't include any of your post history. Its in the settings of the web app, when you are logged in.

Just make sure the next server you use has at least Lemmy 1.9.5 (I think) which was the first version with that functionality.
