I was asked about my post on Catholic Stereotypes in which I referenced the old made for TV movie of Ivanhoe. \u00a0I said that the movie was, as TV movies go, not bad in keeping with the basic gist of the book. \u00a0I then went on to describe the characters and what I was getting at about stereotypes. \u00a0It was pointed out that, in the book, Lucas Beaumanoir is actually quite the believer, the zealot and the fanatical font of superstition and lunacy. \u00a0So much so that Brian de Bois Guilbert (perhaps the true main\u00a0antagonist\u00a0in both book and movie, truth be told) references his style of witch hunt mentality as the thing that future generations will scorn. In an attempt to keep up with things, I should have clarified I was referring to the TV portrayal, where the general idea seems to be he only\u00a0believes\u00a0it to a point, shooting sidelong glances and willingly lying, basically not being the zealous yet true hearted\u00a0believer\u00a0he is in the book. \u00a0I should have specified. \u00a0Just keeping up with\u00a0those\u00a0who are keeping up. \u00a0Thanks.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
