The Exorcist' TV Show on Fox Attacks the Catholic Priesthood...


SATAN’S GREATEST ONSLAUGHT AGAINST PRIESTHOOD
"My child, the greatest onslaught of satan will be to the priesthood of My Son. With all the abounding errors that are now raging throughout My Son's House, there can be given to mankind the hope in their redemption with the coming Chastisement. A great Warning will be given before the Chastisement.


     "Oh yes, My child, many will see and still not believe.
     "O pastors in My Son's House, how many times must I warn you of the dangers of your innovations, the dangers of your experimenting in My Son's House? You will not convert, you will not return Our straying sheep with your improvisions. You must return discipline to My Son's House. This discipline must start with the rulers in My Son's House.” 
– Our Lady, November 22, 1976


"We ask all parents to keep a steady hand on their children. Bar them from all the insensitive acts being committed on the diabolical tube of satan, your television. I ask if you cannot monitor your set, to remove it immediately from your home, for your children will even resort to murder if they continue to watch the programming." - Our Lady of the Roses, June 18, 1992

The above Messages from Our Lady were given to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, New York. Read more

Fox's show The Exorcist is much like its film predecessor in taking delight in how outrageously shocking it can go. Unfortunately, the exploits in an R-rated movie are apparently now suitable for a primetime television series. In this case, they spread out the story of a possessed girl over a full season with more conflicts from the priests and more gruesome demonic possession.

However, the show can’t get away from its desire just to shock us. Whether it’s the girl being thrown around the room, the family crumbling under stress, or the priests disagreeing with each other, nothing is sacred. This week’s episode “Chapter Five: Through My Most Grievous Fault” crosses its biggest sacred boundary yet by having the priest Tomas (Alfonso Herrera) sleep with a married woman, Jessica (Mouzam Makkar).

Though unsurprising considering the show’s development of the characters, it’s nevertheless shocking (or perhaps not) that the show pushes the boundary so far as to display adultery with what is supposed to be a moral character. Not only is the action shown, it’s intensely portrayed as a raw, uncontrolled moment even when they both know it’s wrong. The affair is shown juxtaposed with a scene of the other priest, Marcus, performing an exorcism. "I order you into the light, unclean spirit. Leave this servant of God!" Marcus yells at the demon but it is clear Tomas is possessed at the moment, too.  

But that’s the purpose of the show here. No one is truly right when one of the heroes is an ex-communicated priest, and the other makes a clearly irrational, sinful choice like this. And these are the people we are supposed to be rooting for to save the possessed girl? Plots must be sacrificed when making a transition from film to television, but apparently a character’s dignity must be sacrificed as well.
For the life of me, I can’t even understand why the show needs to go further into corrupting the priest when the original shocked many more people without sacrificing the dignity of the priesthood. I suppose it’s what the show qualifies as “edgy” these days even though every other liberal program has done it. Maybe one day, they’ll be just as tired of it as I am.
