Hollyweird crowd hates Catholicism

Glad to see someone call it like it is.

Hollyweird crowd hates Catholicism

I thought they hated Christians. As for how they treat or portray Catholics, I can be open minded; but, I have a large collection of movies and am more than a little taken aback at the notion that Hollywierd gives Catholicism a raw deal. It would be interesting to see a list of the people in Hollywood that are Catholic and portray Catholics preferentially as a result. How many Pentacostal ministers can you remember on the screen? Horror movies always seem to have the Catholic priest dragged in to pose as a hero or hero wannabe. Without commenting on the reality of that, I'd love to hear what such a charge is based upon. I may agree or disagree - don't know. The charge just doesn't seem to square with the portrayals I've seen on screen. Perhaps you're still ouching from Braveheart? I know Catholics tend to paint the picture that anyone mentioning the inquisitions is by definition intolerant, anti-catholic and a bigot for bringing it up. Somehow, I don't get the feeling that Germans feel hated and reviled by the world because of Hitler or the mention of World War II. Just an insight.. but, please, proceed...

They hate Christianity, period. Not just Catholics.
