7/12: All the more reason to hate the church and to support the atheism/agnosticism movement.

There's so much hypocrisy about the silly institution and its "oh sacred" rules. The church basically says religion is more important than people's lives. That's great. It's no wonder why the child sex abuse lasted for so long. Take a look at the Joe Paterno mess: Penn State University is more important than the raped children.

For what it's worth, Donald Sutherland turns in another masterful performance, and he's the only reason why I don't mind seeing the film again.

All in all, The Rosary Murders is a nice little thriller, but I'm peeved by the inviolable seal of clergy privilege.
