...but I was raised Catholic and went through 12 years of parochial school. I assure you, at Catholic achool in the late 60s, there were undoubtedly stones altar boys (and girls). So the getting high scenes didn't seem outlandish to me - I also thought they were funny and didn't slight the actual relisious ritual itself. The tone while mocking was, I thought, affectionate - much less mocking than the Coens usually are.
I was surprised how much I did emotionally connect with this movie...especially the ending. Perhaps its because I've been through some life altering experinces in the past few years.
