The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Yes. There are some pornographic scenes, and the ending feels rushed/phoned in, but it's good. The Church needs a firebrand like him.

Don't give money to people who want to undermine the church.

>orders a cardinal to break the privacy of confession

>thinks his daddy issues are more important than Christ

Funny to see liberals try to paint a conservative pope in a bad light only for it to come out looking wonderful, but it is still trash.

No. As it has instances of.unsimulated sin , it is trash.

It'll piss you off. It's obviously trying to attack the church.

It's smut. Really disappointing show. It openly mocks Catholicism and completely misses the point of our faith. It's the kind of show that "inspires" basic secular normalfriends or protestants that want to have a simulacrum of what it feels like to have a Mother Church with hundreds of years of history and her historical appreciation of beauty. It's incredibly overrated and you'll only be disgusted by the experience. Really disappointing show.

I forgot to say this, it's obviously a bad "Catholic" show since some of it's themes, nods and characterisations are sometimes even demonic when not just merely heretical. But as a secular show, it's only really "good" because it's a refreshing change of pace from the usual American schlock; Sorentino is the director in this one and there are some outstanding performances from some european actors (and some really, really bad too). However the show has a lot of loose plot threads, questionable music choices, the direction is at times quite "oniric" (or just outright nonsensical) and they squander most of the extraordinary opportunity to film en locale to instead showcase modern art pieces. It's a head scratcher to say the least.

I can't really detach my critique of the show from the horrible taste it left in my mouth as a Catholic. I can say that my secular friends and acquaintances positively adore it and some hail it as classic television. But as a show I found it extremely lacking and incredibly superficial. Just consume the memes and ignore the show.

winnie the pooh based. Who wouldn't give anything for a Pope like that?

I'm the only person in my circle who has seen it. I showed some of the funny/thought provoking scenes to my mom. I enjoyed it but felt the first episode could be skipped.

The Church is indestructible. The corrupt Cardinals need to be undermined.

OP, what I try to keep in mind when I critique a show is whether it depicts good as good and evil as evil. This show certainly does that. It has some bad content, some moral dilemmas, and corruption in the Church, but the point (that other Christanons seem not to be picking up on) is that all of these things exist in real life. They are real issues that are addressed by many people on a day to day basis, even in the clergy. The fact that this show paints evil as evil and good as good is what earns a positive review from me. The actors are not portraying Christ-figures, while, as clerics, they are expected to because it is their job and vocation. That's kind of the point. And what good would any show be if everyone was perfect all the time? I think it goes without saying that some of the greatest enemies of the Church come from within, and that's something that both Jesus and St. Paul warned us about. This show presents the Church poorly? Good. As long as the reasons for the poor representation are truly evil.

I'm Catholic, and you'd have to be braindead not to see that this Church has been infiltrated by Satan to an utterly staggering degree.
