a documentary from former catholic priest and son of an american general James Caroll about the darker side of christianity, the mixing of religion and military power and the catholic churches early role in anti-semitism from the emperor constantine to adolf hitler to the catholic church today and the scandal about the american air force requiring their recruits to listen to the campus "evangelizing" to be in the air force

you'll see some crazy ass japanese commericial when it starts but just ignore that lol

at first when i was watching the documentary i thought it seemed a little one sided but as i kept watching it was pretty fair in most points. the only thing i don't agree with was the brief part where they talked about the passion of the christ, i don't agree that the movie was anti semitic, you never see jews being blamed in the movie and thats how the story is what do they want mel gibson to do re-write the story so no jews are involved whatsoever? some jews were talking about how they felt about the movie and i can understand that they might feel uncomfortable seeing jews as responsible for jesus death but this isn't the way most christians see it in 2010, most christians see jesus death as being planned by God himself not by the jews, God just used the jews to bring forth his plan, but jewish people watching don't really know that, but i can understand why they would think that because the death of jesus was used to the early church as a reason to kill the jews, take their land and treat them like dogs all through history and that is what the documentary most talks about, it was a shocking history even i didn't really know that much about so i learnt a lot from this.
