"Eat Pray Love" gets Catholic leaders all hot and bothered.

Catholic Church leaders have given Julia Roberts' new movie, "Eat Pray Love," the thumbs-down for ignoring the faith.
Catholic News Service officials in Washington, D.C., have suggested that faithful film fans should skip the adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert's best-selling travel memoir because Roberts, as Gilbert, fails to seek spiritual guidance in Rome during the "Eat" section of the movie.
A review of the film written by CNS's John Muldering reads, "Though she (Roberts' character) seemingly hits every restaurant in town, she gives the churches a pass, the implication being that she knows better than to look to Catholicism for insight."
The news service has given the movie an "L" classification, suggesting the film may trouble some devout Catholics with "content many adults would find troubling."
To make matters worse for Catholics, Roberts, who grew up a Catholic, has recently become a Hindu after spending time in an ashram in India while filming the "Pray" section of the film.
The actress recently told Elle magazine, "I'm definitely a practicing Hindu."

It was the "Eat" section. Was she supposed to eat a Jesus cracker? Eat the Pope? Eat paint off the Sistine Chapel?

I love that she became Hindu after this movie, when she used to be catholic. It's quite funny really.

Which begs the question: Where can we shoot movies to turn people atheist?

(god) sic
Umm, actually no. The way he used it, it gets a lower case. He didn't use 'god' as a proper name. -

Julia who? Do you mean the gal that has two redeeming qualities, oops, three, just two are a matched set. Of course the other is also a matched set undoubtedly complements of her dentist. The empty space between the ears explains the trading one set of saints for a different set of gods.
