Oh come on give the Roman Catholics some Hollywood street cred. There are quite a few movies that have some shadowy Vatican or Opus Dei character. They get some Hollywood love too:)

Did you read the post and this statement? "While you can see many negative portrayals and mentions of Catholics, you can also find many inspiring and spiritual, and respectful movies, articles, and TV portrayals, but not so for Evangelicals."

Interestingly, even those negative portrayals that you described, are in some ways aggrandizing and lend an aura of mystery and power, so even many of the negative portrayals are not entirely negative.

The media and the left has a love/hate relationship with the Catholic denomination, while with born-agains/Evangelicals, the media is purely dismissive and mocking, they treat them the way they do a political and social conservative, which of course, most Evangelicals are.
