The Catholics (1973)

Directed by Jack Gold

Overview

Set in the near future. As a consequence of an ecumenical movement (Vatican Council IV), the Catholic Church has joined other religions and has eliminated much of the original dogma of Catholicism.

So, Rome decides to send a representative to investigate what is happening
