The object of their wrath, "The Magdalene Sisters," is a fact-based drama . . .

That was the excuse Miramax used. Just facts, folks. Make up your own mind.

Give me a religion, any religion, and in half an hour I'll have enough facts to make those who belong to it appear to be stupid, insane and/or evil. Works for races, sexes, ethnic groups too. You name it, it can be demonized. With irrefutable facts.

The question is why Disney and Miramax seem to only pick Christians.

Evidently the studio is Miramax.

The media likes to exploit the downside or perversion of some elements of Christianity because (1) it sells, and (2) they do tend to be anti-Christian in our time.

Nevertheless, the right hand needs to be aware of what the left hand has been doing.

To be fair, I think some protestants might have been as mean-spirited, vindictive and exploitive as those nuns at times.
