I'm sorry if I offended you it wasn't intended, I'm just a Christian. I don't live my faith to protest anyone. I mentioned Catholics being especially interested in this film because the Director and main actor are as well, plus it being based, at least in part, on a book by a Catholic nun. Those aspects will certainly have a greater tendency to attract Catholics than non-Catholics. As to us all being Christians, I believe that all Christians are believers but not all believers are Christians. To me the Christian is the one who follows God's lead as best they can once they have been washed in the blood of our Lord. Those who haven't come into contact with that blood can call themselves anything they want, but it won't mean that they are saved.

Um, ACTUALLY: Protestant, ROMAN Catholic (or 'RC' or 'CoR' - Church of Rome, if you like), Greek Orthodox Catholic, et.al. The term 'catholic', contrary to popular belief, is an adjective and not 'owned', as such, by a religious organization in a little borough in the middle of Rome...
