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. 

I think yes there is a problem with the way catholics are portrayed but I think it actually goes for all christian religions in holywood, TV and media in general. I belong to a not so big christian religion and get a lot of bashing when we are portrayed also.

Christianity (I'll not narrow it down to just Catholicism) just has a very bad track record. Oppression, genocide, pedophilia... even in today's society many lives are being destroyed by the stubborn and oppresive dogmas of the Christian belief.

Many of these things are attributed to christianity, but in history, they often had nothing to do with the faith or the church itself.

The writer and director of this film is neither Jewish nor American. Martin mcdonah has duel citizenship in Ireland and the UK due to being born in London and raised by 2 Irish parents meaning he was most likely raised Catholic. Most of his early work has a strong relation to Ireland a country which in recent years has started to lose faith in the Catholic church due to the many scandals covered up by the church over the years.

In fairness, the Catholic church is more like a cult than a gang. But, they certainly have, as an institution, committed countless unspeakable crimes over centuries. The church is due no sympathy. As for individual catholics..... at this point in time, everyone knows of the evils of the church. So, if you wish to continue associating yourself with that organization, you're also due no sympathy.

Every society or group has their own scandals. If yours hasn't come out don't feel like a saint. Too much porn getting people into excitation mode

"Yet the African Americans got so much love in this film" so, you're upset that blacks are shown in a positive light in the film?

The "church" has no faith. It's all people. People can do good things and bad things. People affiliated with the church have done good and bad and the church is held accountable by that.

By that account, there have been done worse things to expand our economic markets then there has ever been done by religion.

The difference being, of course, that there is no holy book or spiritual leaders telling people how to expand our economic markets. Come on, it's a very silly comparison. I'm not saying all evil comes from religion. But what you're saying is basically "there are bad things in this world that have nothing to do with religion, so religion really isn't that bad".

I will concur religion has brought us good things as well. In the end it's just people doing things. But religion has a bad track record (Christianity and Islam most of all) and with good reason.
