Summertime is movie time. So if you’re bored with reruns and the same old stuff on cable, with no new ideas for Netflix, for your convenience, there’s the Fallen Priests Film Festival pages. I got ‘em all; ranging from funny priests to devil worshippers and outright nunsploitation, with dramas and historical epics in the middle. Even clergy abuse documentaries are now included.

Check the nearly 300 shows currently listed starting with Part I: Clerical Comedies.

I’ve left out all the pro-Church syrupy schmaltz that I can. No Sister Act or Going My Way here, folks. Most of this stuff would get you into trouble with the Legion of Decency, which is kinda the point here. ;->

I’ve listed a few new ones, updated several more. Along with the hilarious Father Ted, there’s the movie I saw last night, Goya’s Ghosts, an excellent period drama about the famous painter, a model (Natalie Portman, whose roles are getting even more curious), and Javier Bardem as the creepiest and most vile inquisitor I’ve seen in a long time. And it’s quite “on topic” too…

And as always, if you think of any I should know about that aren’t listed, please let me know. Thanks!

Stay cool and pass the “popecorn”….

It took place directly after an emergency secret consistory that had the world speculating.

“The great feud between the heavenly kingdom and the infernal one is now over,” the Supreme Pontiff proclaimed. “I’m happy to say, the gates of Heaven have now been unlocked and thrown open. Even now, Lucifer and his former followers are being readmitted to Paradise.”

Sometimes, papal absurdity is just too much to resist.

Papal Letter Blames Atheism for World’s Worst Styles

(PARODY) Pope Benedict XVI strongly criticized modern-day atheism in a major document released today, saying it had led to some of the “worst fashion choices” ever known to mankind.

But in his second encyclical, Benedict also critically questioned modern Christianity, saying its focus on individual salvation had ignored Jesus’ true message that Christians must dress better than the infidel.

“Saved by Hems” is a deeply theological exploration of Christian beauty in the fashion world – that in the suffering and misery of the street, Christianity provides the faithful with beauty secrets straight from the Kingdom of God.
