Anti-catholic? (NO TROLLS PLEASE!)

Yes, there was that one scene with Father Murphy and that fair-skinned, six year old, alter boy, that occurred way back in the convent basement, blah blah blah...

Then the Cardinals burned a brilliant scientist at the stake, for teaching the Earth was not the center of the Universe.

Then, all the bad guys and vampires, got to buy Holy Papal Indulgences that cleared them of all their sins and evil deeds.

Now you happy?

If you take Catholicism to be remotely intelligent, then yes, this movie is anti-Catholic, in the sense that it is anti-anything related to intelligence

Lets just say this was pro-god but anti-church movie and leave it at that. but seriously if you are afraid that a fantasy movie with anti-religiuos undertones would shatter your belief then its not that strong to begin with it is?

It's a modern Catholic movie, actually.


It is anti-Church, an institution that claims monopoly on God, an intermediary. It's not an anti-Catholic movie. It's very much Catholic, but modern version of Catholicism. Nowdays Catholics pay less and less attention to what the Church is saying, and they want to bypass it.



(This is my interpretation. I am not Catholic.)

If you are worried about this movie being anti catholic,don't bother watch it at all as it would be deemed as blasphemy in parts ,as is ,the totalitarian aspect of it is something which exists in the world (the real world) ,so after such an apocalypse it would be highly likely the church would be the institution to effect this state ,you only need to look into history to the massacres in Rome of the pagans and the crusades to see this point .
No i am not being a troll i am presenting points with which there would have been questions about and giving reference to back up .
I have studied divinity ,but i am not of any christian faction i am pagan ,don't like it ,deal with it ,because you can't burn people at the stake anymore.

Don't scare me....i poop easily

I am not a Catholic or a Christian. The way I see it, Priest is not anti-Catholic and not disrespectful of the Catholics. The movie and the graphic novel both portray the Church as the good side, as a government as well as a religion. In this alternate Earth, the Church government appears to be somewhat totalitarian, but the story showed nothing too critical or irreverent. The Priests of the Church are definitely the heroes and Earth's best hope, and the evil side is clearly defined. This is not the same as the real-life Church, which I would say is a good side but without being so warlike. The world of this story is harsh and strange, but even here it is better to live as a human than to be food for the ghouls. Priest is not religious propaganda and does not do a hard-sell of Catholicism, but it respects it and shows it in a heroic light. You don't have to be Catholic to like this movie.

I watched it with a Jehova while I'm an atheist and we both enjoyed it for what it is. An action flick about a kickass guy vs a bunch of vampires.
