Edit: at last. Probably the insufficiently Catholic Stephen Greydanus is responsible for the review. And even more unfortunately, if you're looking for any deeper moral insights or a condemnation of the film's pantheistic, Gnostic universe, don't bother with Osservatore. Why does anyone read it, really?
Osservatore is probably even more anti-Catholic than the LA Times.
[LA Times] An organ of the Vatican has slammed the new "Star Wars" film as a thorough disappointment because its villains are not sufficiently evil.
The Vatican's daily newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, has given a dismal review to "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," even as it breaks box-office records.

That's a major problem with Harry Potter, too: It blurs the distinction between good and evil, promoting ends-justify-means, relativistic morals.
ReplyDeleteThere was no blur. Harry Potter promoted evil as good.
DeleteThat's funny because Osservatore promotes evil as good!
ReplyDeleteI suppose there are more genuinely evil villains in Rome so they have a better perspective.
DeleteI couldn't have put it better!
DeleteI think Harry Potter got away with it because it promoted evil as good with the excuse that it was for a good purpose.
