Nacho Libre is the story of a young priest, Ignacio, who must reconcile his love for wrestling with his duty to God and the orphanage in which he works. In this scene, Ignacio struggles with his desire to wrestle after watching a live lucha libre match (lucha libre is the Mexican professional wrestling circuit).

Ignacio (Jack Black) enters the kitchen where Sister Encarnacion is making breakfast.

"Ignacio," she says, "you have a responsibility to these children."

"I know."

"Well, where have you been?"

"I've been gone because I've had a lot of church opportunities outside of the orphanage."

"Like what? Where were you last night?"

"To tell you the truth, I went to a wrestling match—lucha libre."

"You went to watch a wrestling match? You are a man of the cloth! Lucha libre—it's a sin."

"But why?"

"Because those men fight for vanity, for money—for false pride!"

"Yes, it's terrible," Ignacio replies. "Terrible. But is it always a sin to fight?"

"No. If you fight for something noble or for someone who needs your help, only then will God bless you in battle. You must pray for forgiveness."

Ignacio goes to pray inside a large church. He lights a candle, kneels at the altar, and prays: "Precious Father, why have you given me this desire to wrestle and then made me such a stinky warrior? Have I focused too much on my boots and all my fame and my stretchy pants?"

"Wait a second!" Ignacio continues. "Maybe you want me to fight and give everything I win to the little ones who have nothing—so they can have better foods and a better life! If I win tonight at the Battle Jam, I will know that you bless my mission and want me to be a wrestling servant for you."
