Constantine (not the emperor)
I like this paragraph from a Roger Ebert review of Constantine, which stars Keanu Reeves as the demon-hunting title character.
Strange that there is a priest, since that opens the door to Catholicism and therefore to the news that Constantine is not doomed unless he wages a lifelong war against demons, but need merely go to confession; three Our Fathers, three Hail Marys, and he's outta there. Strange, that movies about Satan always require Catholics. You never see your Presbyterians or Episcopalians hurling down demons.
I've always wondered what the Hollywood obsession wih Catholicism is. Is it that it's easier to tie Catholicism in with mysticism and its associated cross-wearing and candle-lighting which is somehow cooler and more marketable? Or is it simply that it makes it easier to avoid any mention of the name of Jesus Christ?
