Now I've seen everything. I was very skeptical at first, because I didn't want to think that such nastiness could be in my Church, especially with such a title as engaging as "Rape of the Soul." The imagery is impossible to make up, as hard as I have tried to nitpick. I first saw this in my local Regal theater, and then while on vacation recently viewed it again, and there was more to see each time. The first time is kind of a shocker, especially being religious. There were gasps in the audience, and I swear people were emotional.
I admit that I was afraid that I might see something that would make me look at art, or worse yet, my Church in a different way, especially through famous religious art, and I waited to see it for a while, hoping my curiosity would go away, but it wouldn't.
Everything from phallic symbols to the word sex to 666 and demon faces are clearly appearing in loads of art, some of it very famous. Even famous artists showing demonism and sexual scenes right in the most famous paintings. It's tough to swallow for me as a Catholic, but it's the truth, and what more can you ask for, then good no nonsense honest truth? That's what documentaries are supposed to be anyway. Gulp.
