The hate spews forth under the very thin guise of "critique".

Gramsci would be pleased! His rules are still being followed...

It's sort of like when Canadians or Europeans preferred Clinton over Bush, he fit their "sensibilities".

I wouldn't take it to heart. We all know there's a gazillion variations of Christianity out there and they all think they have the right interpretation of scriptures. Some differences are truly minor and of no consequence while others really are heretical. Did you notice this line? -" The Roman church is now as plagued by guitars as Protestant churches are. Nashville has invaded Rome." He's critical of pop culture invading the sanctity of sacred worship and bemoans the influence in the church of Rome as much as in the Protestants congregations. North is also clearly saying that only a Catholic of the old tradition could have made this film. That sounds like praise to me.
