THC 29: Paul Serup | The Lincoln Assassination & the Catholic Church
Mary Surratt and the Film The Conspirator
Paul Serup critiques the 2011 Robert Redford film The Conspirator, arguing it attempts to rehabilitate the image of Mary Surratt despite historical evidence of her guilt. He notes that the film's financier was Jesuit-trained, suggesting a bias in the production. Serup also mentions Dr. Samuel Mudd and John Surratt's flight to Canada and the Vatican as further evidence of Church involvement in sheltering the conspirators.
