Catholics should enjoy Angels and Demonds says Ron Howard

In a recent article, Movie Director Ron Howard is quoted as saying "Let me be clear: neither I nor Angels & Demons are anti-Catholic. And let me be a little controversial: I believe Catholics, including most in the hierarchy of the Church, will enjoy the movie for what it is - an exciting mystery, set in the awe-inspiring beauty of Rome."

I wonder if he would say that Blacks would a enjoy a movie as beeing a good story set in the majesty of the south if the story were Insulting of the Harriet Tubman story or a rewritting of the sotry of the KKK. Or if the story were a revision of the Holocaust, wouldhe say Jews would enjoy it because because it is an exiting story set in the splendor of the Bavarian country side.

The truth that it is only because it is anti-Catholic (let's not kid ourselves something that depicts lies about the Catholic church is by definition anti-Catholic) that Ron Howard can get away with making such a statement without the Media coming down on him. It is only when a Republican Presidential Candidate makes a speech at Bob-Jones University that the left sudendly becomes defensive of Catholic sensitivities.
