The Catholic church is frequently attacked, but it is also frequently glorified in Hollywood and on TV, the media also frequently treats it with great respect and as an authority.

Evangelical Christians are almost always treated as sub human, backwards, primitive, and you won’t see the troubled movie hero going to his Southern Baptist minister for advice, because he is always Catholic. The left know how Evangelicals vote, and how steadfastly conservative they are, that is why even in horror flicks the bible quoting Protestants are likely to be the slope headed, inbred, cannibals, never the good people, or the religious counter to evil or the powers of Satan.

Fifty years ago maybe!

I've seen very little of it in the last decades of my life.

The Catholic Church USED to be treated fairly but it hasn't been treated well by Hollyweird since the 60's. More often that not it's ridiculed; its priests are considered perverts, its nuns repressed and PRACTICTING Catholics are treated like evangelical Southern Baptists, that is, not well at all.

True. But like I said it was the 60's that turned the tide for Cathollics. SOME Protestants are treated well, but ANY evangelical, Baptist, Methodist AND Catholic evangelicals are treated just like you said.
You've watched the Bing Crosby movies too much. :o)
