As stupid as it wants to be

I watched this movie recently, and I have to vent about what drove me crazy!! When the boys break into the church and drink the communion wine and eat the wafers, the Todd character (yeah, nice late 19th. Century name there, *Todd*???), protests and says "You're committing a terrible sin, you're eating the body and blood of Christ." This leads the viewer to think "oh, okay, Todd is Catholic." Reasonable enough. Later, in jail in Mexico, he says something like "maybe we could to pretend we're Catholic and ask to see a priest." To which Les replies "Catholics can smell a Baptist." Why, oh why screenplay writers not just go with the original idea and have Todd be Catholic?? Hey, take it a bit further and make him, say, IRISH!!!! I just find this an absolute inconsistency of thought. And this happens time and time again in films. There's NO WAY that a Baptist farm boy would have an idea about Communion being the "body and blood of Christ." That would have been a Catholic theological concept. But really, this is just LAZY writing, and I hate that people can't be bothered to think through an idea so that it makes sense. However, I did kind of like the first five minutes of the film ripping off Great Expectations, that was kinda clever.
