"If everyone criticizes as harshly as the archbishop, there will be no creation in Hollywood movies. This kind of unrealistic interference will limit the creative space of filmmakers, lead to the avoidance of serious social, political and moral problems, and greatly reduce the authenticity, artistry and entertainment of movies..."
Although it's not the first time I've seen it, Archbishop Marcos Costello can't help but get angry every time he sees the comments made by representatives of several major trade union organizations in Hollywood against Catholicism!
"These ungrateful bastards!"
If it wasn't in its present position, Archbishop Marcos Costello would have scolded it for a long time. If there had been no censorship of the Catholic moral Union in the last century, could Hollywood films have developed into a world-wide dominant situation?
Even though he thinks so, he can see that in today's Hollywood, liberalism is rampant, and Catholicism must take strong measures to build its reputation in this lost area of Southern California!
So, even if there is a backlash in Hollywood, Archbishop Marquez Costello has been ready to make his own voice and fight back since he saw the interview of Murphy Stanton with the Hollywood Reporter at noon yesterday.
Someone came into the office and said respectfully to Archbishop Marquez Costello, "ready, sir."
"Well."
Archbishop Marcos Costello stood up, straightened his clothes slightly in front of the mirror, and under the guidance of the man, he left the office and entered a large conference room nearby. Cameras had been set up in the conference room for a long time, and a Catholic social news media was ready to let Archbishop Marcos Costello speak.
Since yesterday, there have been many voices in the media questioning Catholicism, not limited to California. In the past decade, the influence of Catholicism in the whole United States has been declining. Except for a few areas in the northeast, it is no longer easy to interfere in the secular world decades ago.
In this case, Archbishop Marcos Costello and the archbishop, who is the coordinator of the American academic affairs, agreed, and the other side also supported his approach.
"This way, sir."
Archbishop Marcos Costello was brought to the front of the camera, and an academic staff immediately brought the manuscript to Archbishop Marcos Costello.
After reading the manuscript and waiting for the person in charge of the media to start, Archbishop Marcos Costello made his own voice in the media.
"At present, the Hollywood film" Diego Ross "directed by Murphy Stanton has caused quite a lot of controversy, which directly leads to the conflict between fans and Catholics in terms of personal and speech. The parish of South Central California is very concerned about it," he said
Speaking of this, Archbishop Marcos Costello subconsciously looked at the camera lens, "a large number of untrue contents in the film" Diego Ross "violate religious ethics and insult the feelings of the church. I hereby call on the church to resist comprehensively."
"There are many conflicting and insulting plots in this film. At present, the American diocese is considering sending a letter to inform believers not to see this film."
At this point, Archbishop Marcos Costello coughed in a low voice, cleared his throat, and said, "Diego rose will be a test of your faith. Believers should strengthen their faith, obey the church's instructions, and not be influenced by these fictions. The congregation should pray more, strengthen their faith through prayer, and get rid of temptation! "
He specially mentioned that "the congregation should provide help to the misled people, make them treat the film correctly, and introduce the Catholic doctrine and true spirit to the people around them, so as to correct the audience."
At the end of the brief media speech, Archbishop Marcos Costello nodded to the media staff and returned directly to his office. However, the media interview did not end, and two devout Catholics entered the interview area.
"A lot of believers have been paying attention to and talking about this matter," this is a white man who is nearly 50 years old. "We think that the content reflected in the film is fictitious, which insults and distorts our sacred beliefs. We will resolutely resist it. It's not OK to hurt so many believers' feelings with fictional and misguided things, and the majority of believers will do it Boycott
Then, a dark woman looks into the camera and says, "of course, the content of" Diego rose "is fictional. No one will believe that it reflects the truth. However, after watching this film, people's understanding of the sanctity of Catholicism has certainly been weakened, and has brought a certain degree of negative impact
The bishop told the media to send back the necessary news as soon as possible
The media interview and shooting team was running at the fastest speed.
"Why not find the believer who is in direct conflict with Murphy Stanton fans?"Before leaving, the person in charge of the media asked the spokesman of the suburb curiously, "if he appears, the effect may be better."
The spokesman shook his head. "At first, we couldn't contact him. Later, we found him through his priest, but he declined our invitation. It's said that he was afraid of being attacked by Murphy Stanton fans everywhere."
A little later, in a Starbucks cafe in West Hollywood, a man in a Los Angeles Dodgers Baseball Cap came into the room. He was in his early twenties. He was wearing a gray coat, which was as humble as his appearance. He was definitely the kind of ordinary person who would be found out in the crowd at last.
He stood in front of the cafe and looked. There were not many people inside. In the corner, he saw the person he was looking for.
"A cappuccino..." He pointed to the waiter at the corner, "over there."
After ordering the coffee, he patrolled around warily, and found nothing unusual. Then he quickly walked to the opposite of the man in the corner, opened his chair and sat down.
"Mr. Rodriguez..." The person opposite looked up at him and said, "you're late."
The man, Rodriguez, said, "my taxi was stuck on the road for a while."
The waiter then brought the coffee and politely asked, "Sir, do you need any other service?"
"No more." Rodriguez waved his hand. "I'll call you if I need to."
When he said that, the waiter left soon. Rodriguez took off his hat and took a sip of coffee.
The man opposite looked at the bruise on his face and said, "have you been to church lately?"
"Every week." Rodriguez looked devout, "this is my spiritual sustenance."
Knowing that Rodriguez was a very impious looking Catholic, the man laughed and said, "do you want to make another profit?"
"Make another profit?" Rodriguez turned his eyes, then shook his head, pointed to the bruise on his face and said, "I didn't get well from my last injury. Again, I might be killed by Murphy Stanton fans!"
Thinking of that crazy woman on the beach last time, he's still scared. Murphy Stanton's fans are crazier than the most paranoid Catholic!
"You're not going to attack anyone this time." The man said faintly, "just let you spread a video of yourself on the Internet, calling on Catholics to attack Murphy Stanton and his film Diego Ross."
The man pondered for a moment, then said, "well And Hollywood
Rodriguez took a sip of coffee and asked suspiciously, "and Hollywood?"
"Don't you find Hollywood annoying?"
The man stood on the side of Catholicism. "In the last ten years, there have been many films attacking the Catholic Church, such as the Da Vinci Code, the suspicion of child abuse, angels and demons, and Diego Ross. They all publicize negative information about Catholicism. Shouldn't they be scolded?"
Hollywood should be scolded from the point of view of a devout and pure Catholic, but Rodriguez knows that he just looks like a devout Catholic.
"Hollywood really deserves to be scolded." Rodriguez echoed and suddenly asked, "are you from the Catholic Church?"
The man laughed, did not say anything, but his attitude, in Rodriguez's eyes, naturally as a default.
Rodriguez sighed, "upload video, I will be remembered by many people, last time has been beaten, I don't want to be beaten by Murphy Stanton fans."
"After that, you can go abroad for a while." The cunning in the man's eyes flashed away. "What about the Vatican?"
Hearing this, Rodriguez was a little excited.
Although it has nothing to do with Catholicism, it's OK to provide the opportunity to fly to the Vatican. It doesn't cost much.
Seeing that Rodriguez was a little moved, the man raised his chips again. "This time, the reward is twice that of the last time!"
"Really?" Rodriguez didn't seem to believe his ears. "Twice as much as last time?"
"Of course!" The man spread out his hand, "I can prepay one third as a deposit between us, and have I given less last time? There is a basis for cooperation between us. "
Rodriguez clenched his lips and thought about it for a while. He took his fist in his right hand and hammered the table. "OK! I did it
It's not hard to attack Murphy Stanton and Hollywood movies on the Internet!
