The "will to believe" is perhaps the most common human delusion. They watch that crap because they want to believe that the world it portrays is the actual world. My closest relative is there, and the others have been overwhelmed by the extremism forced on the American Roman Catholic Church. The Papacy left Rome for good until it agreed to allow mutual control over the naming of diocesan bishops. That ended when "Saint" (HA!) John Paul II decided (like King Louis XIV of France before him) that there was no need for mutuality... he was going to do it all himself, and the hell with everyone else. Now, the Church is run by rubber-stamping, form-filling right-wing slaves of the Vatican demanding six to eight kid families from each couple healthy enough for that many.
