I agree with SonnyB. When is Hollywood going to make Satanic Verses?

I don’t have a problem with movies honestly confronting issues in the church, but jumping on the anti-Christian bandwagon is passé. Too predictable. Very cliché. Also, annoying. How about taking aim at Syria, Lebanon, and Muslim fundamentalists Tom Hanks? I tend to think that schizophrenic liberal Democrats are the people harming America’s rep.

It's telling how different church attendance is between vigorous religions, like Catholicism, Islam and various Protestant sects, and religions that have basically become watered down houses of leftist claptrap. The Archbishop of Canterbury is a walking leftist joke. He's more concerned about "climate change" and advocating Sharia law than saving his dying church.

Thank you, kind sir, but I already made that mistake.

"I love high camp and unintentionally hilarious wannabe drama." Then run, don't walk, to see Mark Wahlberg in "Shooter."

You know, I just can't watch Tom Hanks anymore. I don't know if it's the weird hair or the botox, something about his appearance is so off-putting and fake. This does not seem like the guy who could play anything, do anything and even made Madonna look like she could act in A Field of Our Own. Can't watch him anymore. And Opie's intellectual dishonesty and disdain for his audience turned me off for good after Beautiful Mind.

Even if every world leader pulls a Henry VIII on it, the Catholic Church will survive. Remember, three of the next seven English monarchs after Henry wanted to be Catholic (Mary I, Charles II and James II), even though that meant that they would not be able to run their own church as "Supreme Governor." It was only when the aristocrats who overthrew James II passed a Succession Act that barred the king (or heirs to the throne) from being Catholic that the Catholic Church in England went down for the count. Yet, you can't keep a good Church down. At present, more Britishers attend the Catholic Church on Sundays than attend the "Established Church" of England's services.

You're right It's survived the fall of Rome, Saracen and Ottoman invasions, the Reformation and now the priest abuse scandals. Short of every world leader pulling a Henry VIII on it, I don't see it going away.

I believe Brown is just a disgruntled ex-Catholic with a bone to pick.

One of the most distasteful and bizarre ad I ever saw was grown up Opie and nearly dead Andy Griffith promoting that pig self serving empty suit Obama. There goes my innocence.

Cashing in on a popular thing most likely. I give him credit for hard work technically. Not that he is totally accurate, but like Harry Potter, at least the author made it sound like part of the witchcraft world. But if any of the leftist morons take it for truth, then pity their tiny diseased minds.
