How I ask can anyone from Hollywood, and a horror film executive to boot, be considered to be one with a “sane, sensible style?” The man is involved with making Hollywood movies that glorify death! Is it any wonder serial killings have increased in number as well as very bloody murder scenes? Horror films have always gone off the chart with insane and I mean INSANE acts of violence, torture and extremely graphic murders. And with CGI technology they can literally make the on screen murders appear very real and satisfying to anyone with that caliber of demon deep inside them. How is that in anyway sane or sensible?

“Marie Collins, an Irish survivor of clerical sex abuse, resigned Wednesday from Pope Francis’s child protection panel, accusing senior Vatican officials of “shameful” blocking of reforms approved by the pontiff. Collins’s departure and her depiction of high-level obstruction of change is an embarrassing blow to the pontiff’s attempts to demonstrate that the Church is effectively combating a scourge that has profoundly damaged its image over recent decades. The 70-year-old, who was raped by a hospital chaplain at 13, explained her decision in an article for the National Catholic Reporter (NCR). As a survivor I have watched events unfold with dismay,” she wrote. Her resignation happened days after Francis came under fire for reducing sanctions imposed on some paedophile priests in line with his desire for the Church to be more merciful across a range of issues.” –
