I hear this, and I'm confused. I heard that a group called the Conference of American Bishops (or something like that), has praised the movie...what gives? Can anyone explain why there's a difference of opinion?
It has all kinds of subsidiary offices, in charge of liturgy, education, etc. One of these offices is the media office, and it employs a film critic who apparently thinks this film is the bee's knees.
He gave his USCCB bosses his review and they rubberstamped it - I would expect that few bishops even bothered to actually watch it.
The few bishops who have are not happy with it.
The Catholic League is an organization of lay Catholics who are kind of analogous to the Jewish Anti-Defamation League.
They tend to do their homework, unlike the sluggish and bloated USCCB bureaucracy.

I think its the US Conference of Bishops. Don’t know what it is or why they ‘praised it’. Can’t see why they would praise it unless they had invested in it.
