Second film about Paisley in the pipeline
It is understood Ian Paisley Jnr will be executive producer on the project. Describing the script as "a tremendous opportunity to explore and expose the great man and all his vices and virtues", the film has the total support of the Paisley clan.
I have always felt a great deal of respect for Mr. Paisley and share many of his views.
OTOH outside of Europe the Roman Catholic Church has often been of truly great value in education of the poor, and other charitable acts. All religions have their faults and I'm afraid many faults quickly come to mind, in fact in Europe I probably think first of the Magdalene sisters and their RC sweatshops. Others will have far worse memories. In fact the last time I was nearly blown up by the IRA - a few feet away from the blast - I was not at all happy about the RCs and I could doubtless think of many other cases.
IMO: Christianity must be seen as a world religion, though nowadays a minor and probably declining one. So best of luck to Mr. Paisley and his efforts for Northern Ireland.
