I don't believe I said that at all, did I?

It is always best to have the facts all available, pure and without spin, before fudging and judging the actions of the past with contemporary eyes.  Realizing of course, the circumstances of the situation (rightly or wrongly, the child had been baptised),  understanding the LAW at the time (that a baptised child could not be raised in a non-Christian home), what was Pius to do?  Break the law?  Become a party to apostasy?  

There is much to consider.  One would hope this movie will not merely be another form of Catholic bashing that has become so popular.  

Perhaps he can follow this movie up with the stories of Irish Catholic children kidnapped on the streets of NY and Boston, claiming they were "orphans"....and sent to live with Protestant families in the West.  Perhaps when Irish Catholic children were gathered up in Ireland & sent to England during the dock strikes....to Protestant families, of course.

Interesting stories all....
