Movie Reviews of Twist of FaithMovie Review: Good to hear people speak bluntly about what these priests said and did Summary: 5 Stars
I kept hoping all throughout the entire documentary that Tony and his wife would end up leaving the roman catholic church. (It was certainly the best thing I ever did, and I was never molested there or mistreated in any way, I just always hated the phony-baloney double standards and outright lies I knew existed even as a kid). But no, he lets his daughter take part in the first communion thing and spends all that time being in anguish and not turning away from the whole filthy rotten organization, which is what you MUST do if you are honest with yourself in the end. His wife was not raised a roman catholic and talked briefly about checking out a nondenominational church nearby. Tony and she would have been embraced there and would possibly have learned some actual bible, which is the only place the truth about Christianity can be found. The mention of the fact that a bishop is allowed and will lie to "protect" the catholic church cinches it for me - it's nothing but an organization of lies and always has been! And Tony said to his mom in effect that to be part of such a thing after getting the truth is to be in collaboration with it. Amen. Yet people stay in it because they think some other man (a priest, no matter how flawed he is) has some holy power over them. Martin Luther was a devout catholic monk who read the book of Romans one day and found a truth that the catholic church does not believe in, that "the just shall live by faith," and he knew he could not be part of the travesty anymore.
