I felt the same way about the movie "Spotlight!"  Here is ancient history being dredged up just to make the Catholic Church look bad and encourage attacks on the One True Church.  After all, the Church has often apologized for the mistakes made in the past.  Granted, the church never confesses to wrongdoing even when blatant, but it always acknowledges errors and misunderstandings, once it is caught and the evidence is publicly displayed.
