Well, I just watched the Tom Hanks movie and I should have seen it coming. What a crock of absolute shit! As usual, Tom Hanks (an orthodox catholic as is his wife) and Ron Howard (major xtian propagandist) have teamed up to dupe the sheep again. This time they have the church being infiltrated by bad guys, while making some reference to the churches "bad" early days. The overall message being that the basis of the catholic church is "good" and "for the betterment of all" with some "bad apples" occasionally being mean. The movie vacilitates back and forth between the church being bad and then just "misunderstood." The end has the usual Ron Howard xtian warm and fuzzy ending with all parties reaching consensus that the church has done it's best and is trying to reconcile science with religion via a "progressive" new pope (who Tom hanks just happened to save in the movie from death) with better times to be had by all. The movie seeks to expose past abuses by the church by insinuating it was bad decisions and some bad apples but not the overall churches fault. Sick movie meant to mindfuck the masses. Tom Hanks is an asshole for doing this, but what do you expect from an orthodox catholic playing the role of an anti catholic academic?
