(I am NOT referring to "The Way" since I have not seen the film and I have no idea why the NY Times did not give the names of the theaters where it can be seen.  I doubt whether there was anything sinister going on as you imply.  Just an editorial oversight.)

Do I detect a threat that you and your cohorts in the Tea Party, Moral Majority and other ultra right wing groups intend to rise up and do something if you are denied Christian "slanted" offerings?  I find your pro-Christian diatribe just as offensive as the pro-Moslem, anti-Christian violence now taking place in Egypt.

> northwest Spain at a Cathedral where the Apostle James is said to be buried.
> Tom goes to retrieve his son's body and ends up walking the pilgrimage himself,
