Line 100:
* ''[[Dogma]]'' features two fallen angels attempting to destroy the world by disrupting a Catholic church's anniversary celebration, and George Carlin's character is the Catholic priest more concerned with the event going off without a hitch than the warnings about the angels.
** Oddly enough, the movie postulates that Catholic dogma can undo all of creation but no mention is made of conflicting dogmatic principles found in hundreds of other denominations, some of which, predate Catholicism.
* ''[[Brideshead Revisited]]'' (2008 version) is a strange subversion of this trope. The director stated in several interviews that he had a problem with all organized religion, but further remarks indicated that what he meant by that was actually the more evangelical strains of Christianity. In the film, the main family portrayed is very Catholic—as [[Evelyn Waugh]], author of the novel the movie was loosely based upon, made them—but
* Averted in [[Soul Surfer]]. Christianity is clearly Evangelical and in fact some of the hymns are the same as this tropper remembers.
* ''[[Stigmata]]'' is about a priest investigating a woman who has manifested the title wounds and speaks in tongues.
** Made very funny, as (former altar boy) Roger Ebert points out, because the filmmakers think that the woman's having been entered by the Holy Ghost is the same thing as demonic possession.
