I agree with you about it, but we all just have to realize it's just a movie. I'm also Catholic and I can also see where the movie kind of makes sense. To me I think it's all funny; the movie, the Catholic chuch, everything. The best part for me is that the movie states that whatever the church says becomes law, I find that to be true of the whole Religion thing. Who is to say that over the years they left out things because what one person didn't want to believe said that it no longer has to be there, that over time they will forget. Example, recently the chuches have stated that Mary Magdalen was a wealthy woman who helped them get into towns by paying the way , or something like that, but when in fact she was nothing more than a prostitute. Ask any grandmother. Over the years that will change, no one will think that and I'm sure that they've done it with other things. Maybe the reason why all the Catholic chuches in Pittsburgh said not to go see it wasn't because they thought that it was anti-christ but because Kevin told all their secrets.
