A new streaming platform, CREDO, dedicated to faith-driven content, is set to launch on May 28, 2025 1 2. Founded by Tim Moriarty, CEO of Castletown Media, CREDO aims to provide a curated selection of films that are both artistically excellent and spiritually sound 1. The platform will operate on an on-demand, a la carte rental basis, eliminating the need for subscriptions 1 2. Content will be accessible on computers, mobile devices, and smart TVs 1 2.
CREDO's launch will feature "Carlo Acutis: Roadmap to Reality," a documentary exploring the life of Carlo Acutis, the first millennial saint 1 2. The film, already a top-grossing faith-based documentary, examines Acutis's life and his use of digital media to spread the Gospel 1. It includes interviews with Acutis's family and friends, as well as insights from Catholic figures and technology experts 1 2. The documentary aims to provide a model for young people navigating the digital world 1 2.
Castletown Media is also producing "Leo XIV: A Pontiff's Path," a film about the current Pope Leo XIV, which will be available on CREDO later in the year 1 2. The documentary will explore Pope Leo XIV's journey from his Chicago roots and Augustinian formation to his missionary work in Peru 1 2. The film will feature interviews with individuals who know the Pope, offering an intimate portrait of his life and experiences 1 2. Cameras began rolling in Rome and Chicago within hours of his first appearance, with the team also filming in Peru 2.
Tim Moriarty emphasizes that CREDO aims to offer Catholic audiences high-quality, spiritually enriching content 1. He believes that "Catholic audiences shouldn’t have to settle for anything less than artistic excellence" 1. Moriarty highlights the importance of providing families with films that are both beautifully crafted and spiritually sound 1.
The Church values evangelization through modern communication methods.
