New '2012' movie is disgraceful, anti-Catholic attack

It may deliberately be such, or it may not be. Unfortunately, or fortunately as the case may be, the iconic Catholic images that the article mentions are recognized the world over. Such is not the case for most Protestant images and, in today's fearful cultural situation, showing a Muslim location being destroyed is an automatic reason for terrorist reprisal. No, if Reverend Robert Schuller's 'Crystal Cathedral' was seen smashed, most people wouldn't know what it is. If they saw the same thing happen to St. Peter's in Rome it would mean automatic recognition. The price of fame or notoriety.

Still, who knows? There's a lot of anti-Catholic sentiment out there in the world, and this may be some director's way of making a statement...
