My reaction was not that this is an “anti-Catholic” move, as some have suggested. Rather that it, curiously, affirms the need for something more substantial in religion than is offered up while the principle character (Julia Roberts) meanders her way into, I guess, a kind of Hinduism. If that’s indeed what the movie was trying to portray.

Catholics, fear not. “Eat, pray, love” is an evangelical experience. If anything, it affirms the need for substantial religious experience, rather than the soft, soapy, groundless, and narcissistic superficiality that passes for spirituality in the movie.

Thanks to everyone who supported our Fall Member Drive!

Yes, give me that old time religion. Not the variety in “Eat, Pray, Love.”
