Leans Traditional
Primary
While the film's core conflict is supernatural, its resolution strongly affirms traditional Catholic faith and the spiritual authority of the Church as the ultimate defense against evil, subtly aligning with conservative cultural values despite acknowledging institutional flaws.
The movie features visible diversity in its supporting cast, with a Latino actor in a prominent role, but does not engage in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white characters. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, with any critiques directed at institutional history rather than specific identity groups.
Secondary
The film affirms core Catholic doctrines, such as the reality of evil and the efficacy of faith, grace, and confession in spiritual warfare, despite depicting the Church's historical sins and internal struggles with doubt. The narrative ultimately validates the power of Catholic belief against supernatural threats.
The film 'The Pope's Exorcist' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses solely on religious horror and the battle against demonic possession, without incorporating elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film is based on the real-life Father Gabriele Amorth, who is portrayed by a male actor. Other significant characters are original creations for the film or maintain their historical/canonical gender, with no instances of a character established as one gender being portrayed as another.
The film is based on the real Father Gabriele Amorth, an Italian priest portrayed by a white actor. Other significant characters are original to the film, thus lacking prior canonical or historical racial definitions for comparison.
