So why is it that a film, that seems to me, be promoting Catholism not blasting it to smithereens with a grenade launcher get the protesting? It really doesn't make any sense to moi.
This is my sole opinion and only mine so neener neener. EVERYBODY knows the Catholic church is/was corrupt. Heck look back to medieval times when the church use to charge by the sin to be absolved. Historically the Catholic church has been the biggest scam known to man. Take something many people hold so dear to them and give the ultimatum, pay us for saving you or die and go to hell. The "Canterbury Tales" by Chaucer is a great book that describes the time and the role of the church perfectly. Now we arrive at present day. Lets say I am the Catholic church and i have a lot of skeletons in my closet, nazi gold, priests and altar boys etc etc, and somebody goes and makes a movie about me what do you think i would think it was about? Exactly. So how do we go about getting the word out that this movie isnt true etc etc? Right again we go out and say some bullshit that isn't true to save my own ass, and use God, because he is something everyone or mostly everyone holds near and dear, to get people from seeing this "lie" about me. Phew. Does that explain it well enough? Sorta sounds like the government's way of doing things but we won't get into that LOL. Well I hope I raised a few eyebrows or at least got a laugh or too. Please share your thoughts.
Later tators,

P.S. Iam Roman Catholic too!
