The Vatican Isn’t Happy With ‘Prometheus’
L’Osservatore Romano, the Vatican’s official newspaper has some complaints with Sir Ridley Scott’s Prometheus following the films release in Italy last week. No, it’s not about the films ending. They take issue with how the film portrays the origin of mankind and state that it’s a “bad idea to defy the gods” as well as state about the film that it “mishandles the delicate questions raised by … the battle eternal between good and evil in yet another attempt to steak the secret of immortality.”
Showing a clear lack of understanding of the premise, they argue that “the journey of Prometheus should instead symbolize the search for the supernatural.” Keep in mind that this isn’t the first time that The Vatican has lashed out at Hollywood films. However, Prometheus is getting it easier than Avatar and The Da Vinci Code did. But seriously Vatican…you have a problem with this stuff and not the guy petting the alien snake?
