Can't be anti-Catholic, part of it was filmed in Westminster Cathedral, apparently with the Cardinal's okay.

I saw one of those funny publicity programmes on Film24, which featured interviews with the stars, clips, etc. He was interviewed during this programme and he likened C16 Catholicism to Al Quaeda! As our American chums say, "Go figure!".
