This has to be the biggest hypocrisy I have ever witnessed. The catholic church is nothing but recycled pagan sun worshipping. It's actually quite humorous.
Vatican Slams Avatar: Warns Against Nature Worship And Paganism by Yuliya Talmazan | January 12, 2010 at 05:04 pm
Vatican has slammed James Cameron's epic Avatar, warning against the message of nature worship and paganism. Vatican Newspaper L’Osservatore Romano has published commentary of Vatican spokesperson Federico Lombardi regarding the newly released movie Avatar that has dominated the box office ever since its release, and is well on its way to becoming the top grossing movie of all time.
Vatican criticized Avatar for having “few genuine emotions” with nothing much "behind the images." Vatican said the movie was far from being in the same league with other sci-fi masterpieces due to its "overly simple anti-imperialistic and anti-militaristic parable."
But, it seems the biggest problem that Catholic clerics have with Avatar is the movie's hint of paganism, an archaic belief system based in nature worshiping. Vatican spoke against the idea propagating the idea of ecology as "the religion of the millennium." Vatican warned against the worship of nature as it is portrayed in Avatar, in which the people of Pandora worship mother goddess Eywa. Lombardi says in Avatar nature is no longer a creation of God to defend but a divinity to worship.
