No, I don't know Cardinal Bernadin was guilty of what he's been accused of on certain threads around here. In fact, I doubt it, although clearly he was an obstacle to the mission of the church. But this movie does seem to be inspired by current events, no?

Since there is such a meaty source for high drama, I would hope the authors don't descend into silly church-bashing. Frankly, I'm not too hopeful.

"The priest's search takes him to The Sin Eater – a key figure in this mysterious and ancient Order. The immortal Sin Eater's role is nothing less than playing God on earth by absolving the unforgivable of their sins outside the Church, allowing great evil to go unpunished."

Sounds like the Common Ground stuff going on at the Bernardin Center of the Catholic Theological Union south of Chicago. I hope they were smart enough to negotiate a royalty.

Okay can you give us non-Catholics the 30 second idiot lesson on what happened, or what Cardinal B. attempted to do, or whatever..?

thanks.

[As you well know...]

A movie portraying the Catholic Church as a corrupt, evil institution? I am shocked
