Felt let down by Spotlight too?
Being reared in the Roman Catholic religion, I was particularly interested in watching the film since it’s release in theaters back in November.
I personally left the church the first moment I could at the age of eighteen largely because of its antiquated, sexist and unequal treatment of women.
My decision was affirmed just a few years later, when the Boston Globe literally shined a “spotlight” on the dysfunction that embodies this religious institution and its hierarchy of ecclesiastical rulers.
After all, who else but dysfunctional men would knowingly put as many as 5,000 children into harm’s way to protect their own reputation? And these are the guys that claim to know something I don’t about God?
