Okay so you're don't like his Catholicism. I get that. I disagree with a lot of the particular moral choices he made but I find his overarching vision quite compelling. I also think he deserves credit for being able to overcome the irrational elements on his religion and culture to a considerable degree. Lust after all was one of the sins punished most lightly.

The most offensive thing to me was putting Brutus and Cassius in the lowest part of hell and Caesar in the highest. It should have been the reverse.
