He may be appealing to some ultramontane traditionalists and conservatives, Pius XIII, but his lack of a pastoral bent is not ideal. Not even Pius XII was that "rigid." What is HBO's purpose in co-producing and airing this?

To make those who are overly "rigid" in their orthodoxy ultimately frightening and repulsive? What happens if the creator isn't so successful in this goal?
