Rituals of the Mormon Church

I personally am not aware that "Hollyweird" treats the Mormons and Catholics all that differently in terms of depicting rituals or their respective doctrines whether in either a positive or negative manner. This could have been an interesting subject if you had stated it as an honest and objective comparison, rather than what amounts to a one-sided attack on one group (at least an implied attack).

I think to people who are not part of any religion the practices or rituals of most any "faith" or religion seem rather odd or weird, whether it be ritual animal sacrifices, Mormon temple rites, or concepts such as transubstantiation.

If I think or ponder on them, virtually all such beliefs or rituals seem odd and illogical. But defending one's own religion by attacking another seems to me to be a poor practice, and just the sort of thing that gave birth to the saying, "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."

So, I think instead of posing a dubious conclusion as a question, it would have been much better to ask the question, "Does the Hollywood film and television industry statistically treat Catholics or Mormons more negatively? And in the reverse mode, which is treated positively a greater percentage of the time?"

From my own experience I have seen both attacks and praise of both Catholics and Mormons in TV shows and movies, contrary to your unsubstantiated "sweeping generality" post.
