They have committed an insane amount of genocide in its history and did the same thing isis does now in destroying historical places. Not long ago it was found a few priests molesting young boys. Hollywood neither hates nor likes the Catholic church, they are just the easiest to write for when the script calls for something religious. Hollywood has often portrayed them as the ones saving the day from evil and when a script calls for it they are the bad guys. I'm not a religious person but I do live where mostly Mormons roam. I've seen far more agenda aginst them in TV and Hollywood due to so much ignorance about them. They don't have multiple wives. They are pretty normal every day people.

I'm a Mormon myself and yes we do get a lot of hate, mainly because ignorance, but I got used to it.

I think most people would like their religion in movies to have some input from a person in that religion. As the OP wrote, this movie was wrote and directed by Jewish people. I feel that anytime something in made fun of or painted in a negative nature it should have some oversight by someone from that religion/race/ect. It's like telling jokes. If I go up on stage and make fun of a ton of things/people/religions/ect, people will want me to be a part of those things I'm making fun of, otherwise they will be pissed.

I've always heard the best Mormon movie was the one that Trey and Matt Parker made, which makes sense seeing as they ARE Mormons. Not only does beign of something help you better tell a joke or paint it in a bad or good light, but to the audience it doesn't come off as hating.

 

But for the most part OP, get used to it. Catholics, or Christians in general are the White Males of Religion. The religion can be used whenever, wherever, however and by whomever and we can not say a thing about it.
