authorities are appointed by the Church, thus making them society's source on God. It's like pouring religion through a funnel, and the religious authorities' heads are the funnels. Through communication moral problems arise, because it is the first response to all problems. People are supposed to be objective, not only in what they say but in why, where, and how they say it.

And finally, the issue of hypocrisy practiced by its authorities serves as a problem. Having been born in a nation scourged by inquisitors and tyrants, Buñuel continuously denounced in his work the hypocrisy of the church and its authorities.

Furthermore, when hypocrites rise to high position, they set a bad example for ordinary believers and bring religion itself into disrepute. This is probably the most serious failure in religious authority. In El, Luis Buñue...
