Just watched 3 billboards outside Ebbing Missouri, and thought it was a great movie, but one scene pissed me off. Comparing the catholic church to a cripps gang , the fact that a priest belongs to the catholic church, he is partially responsible or apart of some pedofile agenda, even though he had nothing to do with it and as a whole the percentage of mistreatment is so low, in the catholic church. The way the scene was played out, basically a catholic, and there are millions of us, should feel ashamed that we belong to a church. What angers me is that there are so many movies from hollywood that love to bash on catholics. Not anglicans but catholics, and the people behind the script and directing it are jewish americans. Now i have no issues with jewish people, this is strictly a hollywood thing. What i'm trying to understand is why there is this agenda? What has pissed them off so much that they want to show off catholics in a nagative light? Also in the movie they made references not so nice to mexicans/mexico, which happens to be a catholic country. Yet the african americans got so much love in this film. I hope oneday this shit ends, and people take more notice and do something about it.

It’s funny how you blame “Hollywood Jews” for a scene in a movie that was written and directed by Martin McDonagh, a lapsed Catholic raised in Ireland, who went to catholic school as a child. Quick tip: if you need to say “you have no issues” with a particular group, you might want just not say it. Besides, there are plenty of writers and directors in Hollywood who aren’t Jewish. If this is a Hollywood thing, than this isn’t a “jewish” Hollywood thing, as this movie shows.
In any case, I’ve not seen this movie (and I’m not entirely sure I want to after reading about its tone and themes),I will say there is plenty to criticize about the Catholic Church. Of course, I’m saying this as a Jew myself. The most notable and recent thing is, of course, the pedophilia. The “percentage” is irrelevant. What matters is that this abuse was systemic, and the church actively protected the people committing it for decades. This is makes them more than worthy of criticism. Now, YOU shouldn’t feel shame for it, especially given that the church appears to finally be dealing with it, but that doesn’t mean the criticism of the church itself will (or should) just go away overnight.
