The whole film basically endorsed the overall fear and resistance to change as acceptable or even commendable thing. It's okay to judge people for not cutting the nails, using a ball-point pen, taking sugar in their tea, and moreover it's all right to terrorize small children, accuse possibly innocent people or terrible things, and in general treat people like garbage, as long as you've got private doubts that in the end unite you with everyone else.

Similarly, the film basically said that some people may complain that church needs to change and be closer to the its members, but those people are paternalistic and probably child molesters anyway, so it's okay to keep the church in the dark ages. I did find the sexism angle sort of interesting, but it's really nothing that revelatory.
