[quote=Anonymous]I am no longer religious but was raised Catholic. It is so jarring with the inaccuracies and implausible scenarios in a Catholic Church.

First there is zero percent chance that church is Catholic. None. Anyone who goes to a Catholic Church would notice.

Unlike Protestant denominations priests aren’t assigned to a parish for a lifetime. And there is no way a son or grandchild is going to how up in a church then be assigned to that parish.

The film really fails because it treats the Catholic Church as a disposable prop. It’s pretty hypocritical for the director to expect us to take his moral redemption ending seriously when he clearly doesn't take the faith he’s depicting seriously at all.

You can’t have it both ways, first using sacred rituals as a joke and then turn around and try to give the audience a deep sermon. It’s fundamentally wrong to use a mix of religions and insert an evangelical fire and brimstone illegitimate child backdrop but then decide you like the aesthetics of a Catholic Church. No one would allow a director to treat a mosque or a temple as a meaningless backdrop just to mock it for a plot twist.

In the end, the supposed moral lesson feels totally unearned because it’s built on a foundation of disrespect for the very tradition it’s trying to lecture us about. [/quote]
