There is more to tv than Everybody lovesRaymond and Law & Order. I have seen Law & Order where the priests are either nothing, nobodies or confused, never as smart as anyone else. They are necessary there because many criminals and victims are Latino and therefore Catholics, obviously nominal.
I think YOU are dead wrong, though I have to admit I DON'T watch Everyone loves Raymond. I've been watching tv and movies since the 1949 or 1950 where we got our first T.V. Catholics as good guys?? Please. Catholic rules are WAY too strict for the godless Hollywoodians, WAY too strict. The Church is against abortion, artifician contraception, porngraphy, drugs, adultery, divorce, fornication, and on and on and on--HOLLYWOOD incarnate, that is. How CAN you say that SUDDENLY the organization that has condemned Hollyweird behavior as long as there HAS been a Hollywood, is NOW being portrayed positively? NOT A CHANCE.
This is just goofy, you simply ignore everyday TV and movies, Catholics and Catholicism is very often portrayed as good, and as pretty much the only church in America.
Hispanics? You think that Hispanics drive it?
Remember that Hollywood and Catholics vote for the same leftist agenda, it is Evangelicals that are anti-left, and Hollywood treats them with true hatred, if they mention them at all, and i never said anything about “suddenly”, Catholicism has always been the most favored church to Hollywood, and still is.
