Catholic theme in The Monuments Men movie

Watched the (based on the true story) movie "The Monuments Men" today and really enjoyed it. Didn't know it had a bit of a Catholic theme to it before I sat down to watch it.  


One of my favorite parts...one of the Monuments Men walks into a Catholic Church and stares at a beautiful statue of Mary and the Holy Infant... (one of the items the men are willing to die for in order to save from Hitler) 
...and a priest says to him "Are you Catholic?" and he answers while staring at the Madonna and infant..."I am today."  :) 

 Really enjoyed this movie and I recommend it - even if you don't like George Clooney or Matt Damon, they are good in this film.
