Well,
You are taught a very stringent set of beliefs. I follow them looser than I should(My bad), but it was word of mouth that bith gave the film its kick tail box office and sadly, its bad rep. It DOES go against The Churche's Doctrines....but it renewed my faith, and did not offend me. Stigmata....
I won't go there.
But ya know, it is a free universe, and if someone wants to make a flick called "Catholics Suck and Priests are Pedophiles" ,I STILL will not protest. That is just a view of someone who does not share mine.
Why give them free publicity or waste my time?
The CL is immature, and has a hidden agenda. Some of us know it.
In the end, Dogma is VERY affirming, and if anything, OPENS the mind to ideas.
I'd repeat the line, but Kev says it best himself through his work.
Thanks,Kev.
