YES ! My sisters and I were "treated to" Dominican Nuns as teachers from fourth to eighth grades ! I know what you mean. However none of us have looked back at *any church since ! I was in the Navy from 67 to 71. Heller was a GAWDSEND wasn't he ?
And note, that no matter how often they *try, they cannot make of *movie of "Catch 22" that makes the *slightest bit of sense even to viewers who *read the book. The book literally takes place *mostly in the brain of the protagonist, Yossarian. Thoughts cannot be filmed. I place "Catch 22" on a long list of the greatest works ever written. AND to *truly understand the book, it is *best if the reader *has been in the military to fully comprehend the *mindless inanity that Yossarian is always *THINKING about !
And while I loved Alan Arkin in The In-laws (serpentine Shelley, serpentine!) I agree Catch-22 the movie was but an attempt. A Might Casey At the Bat swing and miss. The most true to the book scene was the brothel, perhaps.

Unfortunately spot on, Atma
