As the movie points out, the real enablers were the congregants whose attitude toward priests equated them with gods...above question. And for that matter, isn't there probably enough need for exposure to go around to all the religions with their 2000+ year histories of corruption, obfuscation and indoctrination--before we even get to Islam?
Spotlight was an outstanding historical drama which didn't slant its punches like The Big Short, or was a hyper-gloomy exercise in pointlessness like The Revenant (which bear was a female btw).
Whenever anyone has a voice loud enough to be heard saying think before you emote, I'm all for it.
I'm not going to get into my feelings on the catholic church on a censored message board (PM me if you'd like to discuss)
I love watching Ricky Gervais shitting on everything. Several years later. In a heavily cropped highlights reel on youtube. During the refractory period when I need to waste 10 minutes. Shame the Oscars aren't so accommodating.

I was watching this yesterday. I found it interesting that he brings up every time he hosts that you can just buy a golden globe. Which, if true, means these awards are even more useless than I previously thought. The amount of laughter he got from Harvey Weinstein was very telling.
Leonardo DiCaprio Hopes He Screamed And Cried Good Enough In ‘The Revenant’ To Win Oscar
LOS ANGELES—Asked for his thoughts on his Academy Award nomination for Best Actor, Leonardo DiCaprio told reporters Thursday that he really hopes he screamed and cried good enough in The Revenant to win the Oscar. “I yelled really loud in this movie when I was angry and I started crying hard after I got upset, so hopefully the guys who choose the winners saw all that and liked it,” said DiCaprio, who expressed optimism that his chances will be further bolstered by the fact that, in addition to stumbling and falling a bunch of times in the snow, there were some scenes where he shouted so loud it made his throat hurt, and sometimes spittle even came out of his mouth and got trapped in the big, gross beard he grew. “I bet my chances are good because this is the most I’ve ever screamed and cried—way more than I did in Revolutionary Road or Gangs Of New York. Plus my nose was dripping a lot but I didn’t even wipe it; I just left it there.” DiCaprio then admitted that he is still somewhat nervous that he did a bad job during the parts where he sits quietly and looks at something far away.
