I want to thank Alex Gibney for taking the time to reply to my analysis of his new documentary film, Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God. Any good and honest writer appreciates constructive feedback, as it certainly can be applied to the never-ending desire to grow in one’s craft.
Unfortunately, I found Gibney’s reply to my article neither helpful nor forthcoming, as the director trots out yet another parade of red herrings and half-truths.
In responding to Mr. Gibney, I would also like to add that my article for CWR barely scratches the surface of the volumes that can be said about his new film.
Mea Maxima Culpa is an anti-Catholic broadside masquerading as a documentary. Not including the victims who are profiled, Gibney has assembled one of the largest collections of reckless malcontents and Church bashers ever gathered in one film. Gibney’s project is mean-spirited in tone and approach, and the director’s agitated reply to my article only reinforces this.
