    It is NOT enough to call it a tale for it to be fiction...
    The outrageous claims of the so called Vatican4 quietly materialise in our times as we speak, even though so far we've only had V2 (and it was bad enough).. In any case it is a great thought provoking movie, delightfully vintage, which can be seen as blasphemous only by those who haven't yet noticed the protestantisation of the Catholic Mass and of the Faith in general. All concerned by the direction of the post-concilliar church will sure appreciate it.
