A staunch Catholic 007 has finger on the trigger

IF THERE ARE ANY secret James Bond enthusiasts lurking in the Vatican then they will be delighted to learn that a staunch Catholic has been chosen to portray 007 in the age of the New Man. Pierce Brosnan, with his steely blue eyes, impeccably suave smile and that roguish touch arise Celtic about his brogue, looks set to bring a bit of moral fibre into Bond's somewhat twodimensional psychological make-up. Irish-born Brosnan was the host of last years Catholic Awards Show in Hollywood, when he presented "alternative" Oscars to films that exemplified a concern for morality and eschewed gratutitous
sex and violence.
Mram... So how's he going to deal with James B, whose penchant for both sex and violence are his most enduring characteristics? At this week's packed press conference, Brosnan was vague on the subject hut he did insist that his Bond would not be the sexist role-model familiar to generations.
