OK, there was ONE Catholic portrayed well. What about priests?
You make a good point too about Americans. Let me put it better. Americans of a particular class, meaning of a certain stripe, are not treated fairly. For example high military or government officials, particularly during Republican administrations.
>studios and directors get accolades for applauding American values, football and apple pie all around, etc etc.
On this I believe you are partially wrong. Accolades from the Hollywood elite come when American leaders are not treated well (Good Night and Good Luck and Syriana for example) while the American public gives accolades in the form of ticket sales for films like Radio and Passion of the Christ that present inspirational and moving messages. There will always be exceptions, but the rule is generally true. Now anyway.
