From the full article: "We're in a position with potential to transform the industry." Does he mean the film industry? Don't be so cocky. He's in position to potentially successfully tap a niche market. That's it. If I recall, "Passion of the Christ" was the last mainstream Christian movie. Santorum's group will not be making "The Passion of the Christ."
