NEVER STOP TALKING ABOUT MIDNIGHT MASS
actually i'm not done talking about midnight mass. it's just something about the concept of 'what if divinity was corrupting'. what if you met an angel and it shed your blood for god, then its blood for you. what if divinity doesn't feel like a warm bath. what if divinity makes you cough up blood and foam at the mouth. what if god's touch make your eyes bloodshot and your organs rearrange themselves. what if you were god's favorite and even that didn't save you. or something idk

And she told me… Now get this. Again, this is her seven-year-old daughter she’s talking to. She said, “Everyone gets their wings clipped at some point.”

the way midnight mass spent all of seven episodes showing us what faith and fanaticism looks like only to remind us what true faith looks like in the last five minutes of the episode, by showing us the people singing, the sheriff and his son praying at the beach and the monsignor and his love holding their daughter. the way the one who believed that she was the most faithful and righteous while actually being evil was the only one who didn’t make peace with her own death and tried to cling to life with claws and teeth.
they really said faith is not about idolatry, or blind belief, or even a big guy in the sky, it’s about community, and love, and the people who forget that and allow themselves to believe that they’re better than others will find themselves alone in the end.
Midnight Mass really went above and beyond to not only show true faith, but also true horror.
At the end of the day, the creature pruitt brought back wasn't the real monster at all. Bev Keane with her hypocritical idolatry, the mayor with his blind faith, Monsignor Pruitt with his selfish greed and one dimensional thoughts, even the other islanders' blind faith; those were the real monsters in the show
Just as true faith wasn't confined to the halls of a church, true horror wasn't the eildtrich monster at all
Excellent writing to juxtapose the horrors of fanaticism and religious propaganda against an actual monster; then using all these metaphors to show that faith is born from love and community
Truly the cherry on the top!

image 2: a grassy field in pitch black, a spot light illuminating a herd of sheep with glowing, reflective eyes, and the legs of a man standing among the sheep, his eyes are also glowing.
image 3: The door way of a church with the doors open revealing a forest at night, and bloody handprints on the walls.
