Those crazy Catholics crack me up

I mean, if they aren't busy sexually abusing children in their schools or enabling others--mostly church hierarchy to do said same, Catholics can be one great source of humor. I didn't see this last Fall when it came out but it seems the Vatican came out against a Hollywood movie on Vampires, of all things: The Vatican vs. 'New Moon'
The Catholic Church objects to the newest "Twilight" film This is the part that really made me laugh: "Ahead of the weekend's blockbuster opening for the teen vampire fantasy Twilight: New Moon, a Vatican official condemned the movie as a 'deviant moral vacuum.'" I mean, come on, it's a movie, from Hollywood, naturally, that's about vampires. How seriously can it be taken? Of course, this complaint is from the same group that not only believes in exorcists and exorcisms but keeps a practicing, "official" exorcist on staff. Come to think of it, if they believe in exorcisms as real, it's easy to see how they just might take turning into a wolf once a month literally, too. No wonder they got they're panties in such a twist. Link: http://theweek.com/article/index/103245/the-vatican-vs-new-moon
