Yeah, there’s a reason horror films and fantasy universes often base their stuff on Catholic trappings.
Like, when was the last time some horror flick brought in, I dunno, Baptists or Mormons or Lutherans to deal with the exorcism of a demon?
No, you bring in the Roman Catholic Priest, or MAYBE the Eastern Orthodox Priest, he’s MUCH cooler and has rituals and robes and everything.
The theater and singing in the Catholic tradition is generally top-notch, and it’s one thing I miss about being Catholic. They know how to tap into artistic showmanship in a way other religions seem to have purposefully shed.
…I sometimes wonder how much of the metal community is ex-Catholic. It has the same theatrical flare.
