Breach, about Robert Hanssen the devout Catholic super spy. Right out of the hood! Surprisingly well acted and suspenseful, even though we know the outcome. I had to take a couple of cig breaks, Chris Cooper (who plays Hanssen) made me so nervous, the cat-and mouse dynamic.
Dunno if I'd call him devout. Possessing the virtue of religion, perhaps, though possibly a good cover for his activities. Reading the wikipedia entry on him he sounds like a complete pervert who wussed out on the death penalty and now gets to spend the rest of his natural life in solitary 23 hours a day at ADX Florence, CO.
If he'd opted for the death penalty potential, he'd have hedged on being provided with a priest for a final confession and, assuming a good confession (what does a condemned man lose with full honesty?), moral certitude of heaven upon release from purgatory. Now, he might die of a heart attack in mortal sin alone in his cold cell, where he will immediately be confined to hot hell.
This example is just one of many on the truth of what St. Thomas says about the death penalty, and reveals the complete lack of logical thought and, more importantly, misplaced "charity" (it's really humanism) of the modern curia in their opposition to it.
Oh, and the 23 hours in solitary doesn't mean 1 hour a day of interaction at Florence. It means 1 hour a day they funnel him like a rat to a larger cell meant for "exercise". He's completely alone and the only interaction he has is in the case of medical issues. Perhaps spiritual guidance once a month or something, but death would be better.
