I seemed to remember a simpler service with the father, two altar boys and less theatrics

Back when they had sex with the altar boys and no one squealed? Those were the good old days for them - politicians in their pocket, packed churches overflowing collection plates.....when did the business model all turn to bleep?

I actually saw the film and while the plot was predicable with lots of car chases I thought overall they let the Vatican off pretty easily.

You don't have a clue as to what I meant to say if that's all you take from my post.... that I wish for gay priests... I have a feeling that gay priests, they still have sex with altar boys I guess. So that's means what to me?

My point is that I liked the church when it was simpler and had less of the PC stuff in it.

Started back with the "folk mass", when I was a teenager. Then the anti-war bullsh#t they preached from the pulpit and finally what I saw in Central and South America with the aid to "people's fighters".

I hate the "business" model, I hate everything and everybody associated with letting the gays and communists into the Church. I walked away from the church 35 years ago.... it's taken me that long to find my way home for a number of reasons.

Mostly cause of my temper, pride and uncharitable nature.

So a stupid douche bag remark from you making it seem that I condone the pederasts in the church and the money grubbing Kennedy forgiving a##holes wearing the collar make me once again realize how far away from being a Christian I am.

As far as a "good" Catholic, I have very little chance of that as well.

But good for you for seeing the movie. I read the book and have yet to see the movie. The first movie reminded me of "National Treasure".... I think that Cage would have been a better actor for the part than Hanks.
