Default Is the church breathing a sigh of relief

that Sean Penn didn't mention the church during his Oscar acceptance?

Or are they disappointed they didn't get the free publicity, as the leading spear in the fight against gay marriage?

I guess you didn't hear the acceptance speech of the guy who won for Milk's screen play? I cringed a little.

Likewise, screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, a former member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, won Best Original Screenplay and thanked the real-life Milk. "When I was 13 years old my beautiful mother and my father moved me from a conservative Mormon home in San Antonio, Texas, to California, and I heard the story of Harvey Milk and it gave me hope," Black said. "It gave me the hope to live my life."

The church wasn't even paying attention. For one, it was on TV on a Sunday.
