Oik Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Hellboy is Catholic. Relics are used a talismans, even in the comicbook it's based off of. A Catholic demon? No offense, but last time a demon tried to help out mankind, original sin happened. It was an okay fiction story though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSlayer Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Wasn't it just his "father" that was Catholic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lounge Daddy Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 oh, that movie rocked and wasnt Hellboy born of demons but then raised by a devout Catholic? and i noticed in the film that he did always have a rosary on his belt i also liked the part where he gave a first class relic of a saint to his friend for protection against that creature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DemonSlayer Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 The rosary was just for remembrance of his father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geetarplayer Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I don't care if he's a pope. It was still a bad movie. -Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FingO Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 [quote name='Archangel' date='Jan 12 2005, 03:33 AM'] Nightcrawler from the X-Men is Catholic, too. [/quote] He was a priest one time, wasn't he? Punisher lit some candles in a catholic church, so I suggest, he's catholic too, and .... VENOM also prayed in a church!

Oik Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Nightcrawler is indeed Catholic. He did become a priest in the Comics, just recently I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oik Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 He later decides not to be a priest (I guess he was just a deacon?) because the romantic side was too tempting... Too bad. I think it was just that the writers didn't want to have to deal with writing the Catholic morality into comics. It would definatly challenge the PC politics that mainstream comics are caught up in.

DemonSlayer Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I think that the reason that Nightcrawler didn't become a priest was because the writer at that time thought that the character was too boring and gloomy as a seminarian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oik Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Actually come to find out, nightcrawler was being used a a tool for the Church of Humanity. He was "brainwashed" in to thinking we wanted to be a priest. He was brainwashed by a nun that had been sexually abused by a member of the hierarchy. So she had this elaborate plan to get him elected as pope and then to decree a special type of communion wafer that would disintegrate people. This way she could simulate the rapture (casue we all know that Catholics believe in the rature... ) and then show revel nightcrawler for a mutant (he looks like a demon) and accuse him of being the anti-christ so that the world would turn against the Catholic Church and destroy it... Really dumb... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
