[Seeking the truth]

The murdered girl's twin sister was a born again.

She expressed no sorrow at her sister's death and explained it as something about evil and her sister's lifestyle.

The younger detective said something to Friday and he said, as a throwaway line, "She's one of those born agains". This is a paraphrase as I was not really paying close attention to this totally unnecessary part of the story.

The impression given was one of dissapproval.

It was an absolutely meaningless addition to the plot; except that someone wanted to get a bit of propaganda in there and they did!

Ah. Thanks. Missed that part.

Really, though, can we be surprised? Witness Dick Wolf's other series (Law and Order). I watch it through a 'catholic lens' and I notice:

1.) Priests are all either hindering, or the object of, investigation.
2.) The only good catholic cop is a pro choice catholic cop.
3.) The only good catholic lawyer... see 2)
4.) The confessional should be violated for the good of the State.
5.) Pro-life people are either starry eyed, mindless dupes of powerful, manipulative people, or they're hypocrites secretly getting an abortion.
6.) If a murder occurs within two miles of an abortion mill, it was obviously the pro-lifer. Save the state the cost, and shoot 'em now.

Need I continue?
