>Heinrich Böll
>The 1963 publication of The Clown was met with polemics in the press for its negative portrayal of the Catholic Church and the CDU party.[13] Böll was devoted to Catholicism but also deeply critical of aspects of it (particularly in its most conservative incarnations). In particular, he was unable to forget the Concordat of July 1933 between the Vatican and the Nazis, signed by the future Pope Pius XII, which helped confer international legitimacy on the regime at an early stage in its development.[14]

not seen this quote before but it's perfect

waugh is the peak of catholic faggotry, he's the only man on earth who wrote a modern catholic novel that was actually moving even though it concerns the fucking childraping papists. if anybody else if a popefag past like 1820 you can immediately write them off, EXCEPT for waugh, in fact it's the exact opposite. he's mandatory despite his gay religion and the ending to brideshead is religious ecstasy even if you don't have an abrahamist-cuck bone in your body.

>> No.21058114

>>21058085

It's funny because when he was young, and full of mischeif he mocked the RC church, particularly during his period of motion picture mania. His mania involved the making of them not the viewing of them.

>>Waugh's experience of the movies was highly mixed. At Oxford, he produced, wrote, and acted in an undergraduate film, "The Scarlet Woman," and acted in two others. He also wrote film reviews for the university literary magazine. Once established as a writer, he wrote several scripts out of financial need (none was ever produced).

https://thebioscope.net/2008/07/01/pen-and-pictures-no-4-evelyn-waugh/

>>One of Waugh’s Oxford friends, Terence Greenidge, was an enthusiastic member of the university’s cinema club and had acquired a 16mm camera. Greenidge made several satirical amateur films in early to mid-1920s, including 666, The Mummers, and The Cities of the Plain, in the first and third of which at least Waugh acted, for the latter as a ‘lecherous black clergyman’. None of these films is known to survive.

>>One of Greenidge’s films does survive, however: The Scarlet Woman: An Ecclesiastical Melodrama. As the titles of the lost films indicate, religion was a favourite target, and for The Scarlet Woman Waugh provided the scenario, as well as acting in the film. It is a ribald satire on the Roman Catholic church, concerning as it does the attempt of the Dean of Balliol to convert the English monarchy to Catholicism. Waugh was of course to convert to Catholicism just a few years later, which gives The Scarlet Woman a particular piquancy, the final rebellious assault of one more drawn to the religion than he knew.

>> In the film Waugh acts his two parts with gusto. He plays the Catholic Dean of Balliol, a real figure of Waugh’s acquaintance whom he had come to despise, depicting him as a blonde-wigged homosexual with designs on the Prince of Wales; Waugh also plays the impecunious peer Lord Borrowington.
