What do Protestants think of this film?
I am a Roman Catholic from Italy who has seen this film after reading Huxley's novel. My opinion of what really happened in Loudun in 1634 is a bit different from the screenwriter's, but this is not the point. I have found the film hypercritical towards the Catholic Church and its teachings on demonic possession. I am not criticizing this fact; I am only curious on which are the reactions of Protestants (also Anglicans - we Catholics in Italy regard them as Protestants) to this film. For example, I think they could be sympathetic with Grandier's view on celibacy.
