Me viene a la mentes las magníficas pinturas y frecos de caravallo entre otros❤😊

Best TV series ever, sans comparaison.

I know I'm late to the party, but you obviously didn't get the film - or the book - if you think that Catholicism has 'ruined' anything here.

temptations

In the story, the groom is a bad person and this helps her dodge a bullet.

When I watched this episode by episode many moons ago, Wm F Buckley provided commentary along with the episode. He said Brideshead Revisited's theme was actually the "half-believing" Catholic, and I like this interpretation the best. The characters who rejected Catholicism, Charles Ryder and Lord Marchmain, had no issues, and the ones who embraced it fully, Lady Marchmain, Bridey, and Cordelia, had no issues. It was Julia and Sebastion who were the half-believing Catholics and who had all the issues.

If the marriage bans were read and they said nothing, they would be complicit.

But what these clips leave out is that Charles Ryder converted to Catholicism at the end of the novel and the dramatization

The man who posted this video has either not read or not understood the book.

That’s not a very pretty Julia 😅

Laughable description. The entire point of the story is, that it is through sacrificing a smaller good for the greater, you find happines. This scene is when Julia does the opposite: she sacrifices the greatest good for her happiness, a choice that mimics Sebastian's, and both gained neither. The happiness they sought stood to be found, where they let go of the smaller good they deemed the greatest. There is no way out of predicaments and sufferings in life, only a way through them, by picking them up and give it all to Christ. That is what that story is all about.

Matthew 19 v 9 says divorce is permissible for immorality by one of the spouses. Straight from Jesus’s mouth.

I spent my childhood being tortured and abused by evil nuns and horny priests. As soon as I reached college, I threw hell and heaven and religion in general out the window. Religion is evil. It is the bane of all mankind. If it weren't for religion, we'd be inhabiting Mars and heading for the stars. Jesus, if he did exist, was nothing more than a brown-skinned fanatic, hated by the Jews and the Romans, who put him to death like a million other people they had conquered. I wish we would just move on and dump these hysterical fanatics.

Rayder.ok....pero...

Para que te enteres motran

The title given to this clip misinterprets the scene. Read the book, watch the series. It's great!

REX CAN SEEK AN ANNULMENT.

The Church’s teaching on remarriage after divorce reflects the teaching of Jesus. Previous to the 1970s, declarations of nullity were not routinely granted. HTH. ❤️

This entire video is just <<WHOOSH>>

Catholicism is a cult of superstitions and ignorance....

Lol it would’ve obviously been better if they’d never been married

This was never a "happy occasion". Mottram was an unfaithful adventurer from the colonies who went on to ruin Julia's life. I doubt that religion was much of a factor. To Rex, it was just something else to manipulate for his own ends.

Y si no quiere confesarse!

The view implicit in my education was that the basic narrative of Christianity had long been exposed as a myth, and that opinion was now divided as to whether its ethical teaching was of present value, a division in which the main weight went against it: religion was a hobby which some people professed and others did not; at the best it was slightly ornamental, at the worst it was the province of "complexes" and "inhibitions"--catchwords of the decade--and of the intolerance, hypocrisy, and sheer stupidity attributed to it for centuries. No one had ever suggested to me that these quaint observances expressed a coherent philosophical system and intransigeant historical claims; nor, had they done so, would I have been much interested. Et in arcadia ego, Chapter Four

Pay no regard to the machination of the fool who posted this. Evelyn Waugh, who wrote this wonderful drama, was a devout Catholic. This editing is a deliberate distortion of the author's intention which was to praise Religion (and Catholicism in particular) and admit his own immature foolishness to have believed the secular "authorities" that preached against it.

Your interpretation is so fucking bad that is hillarious

One of my favorite passages. It is a joy to hear it again. Irons does it so well.

"Ruins another happy occasion". It's a seminal catholic novel. Your a twit.

Bridey’s collar is classic pointed at 6:00 but cutaway throughout the rest of the scene

No so much draconian but fundamental

And how "happy" an occasion was it for Rex's divorced wife, hmmm? Heir of Salazar - the famously Catholic President of Portugal - you clearly aren't.... No, ninny, these are not "draconian" and "arbitrary rules of a game that Catholics" impose. This is not a religious thing at all. It is a moral issue. And the issue is this, Mr Peabrain: if you divorce and re-marry then you are dumping your former spouse and possibly children, too. Do they have any rights? Do they get to be consulted? Or do they just get dumped and forgotten? What is truly "arbitrary" are YOUR rules in which anyone can dump their spouse and family because they want to. And that after they have promised publicly, before witnesses, that they will stay married and faithful for life. But - hey! - forget that! If you don't feel like keeping your promise, well, then, you just don't! How much more arbitrary can one get than that, eh? So, Mr Peabrain - if you have a brain - try using it before you blurt out fatuous, unthinking, bigoted, irrational twaddle such as you do in the comments above upon this video clip. Lord Brideshead is clearly unsubtle, clumsy, unfeeling and somewhat brutal in his manner of communicating, and that is clearly to be deprecated, but the underlying principle is nonetheless quite right. If you make a promise, keep it and don't just arbitrarily break it because you don't feel like doing so any more.

Anyone who sees in this story a deliberate condemnation of Roman Catholicism, or who thinks the author views the fates of his characters as tragic, has thoroughly misunderstood the novel. Waugh, himself a Catholic, SAYS IN THE PREFACE: "It's theme -- the operation of divine grace on a group of diverse but closely connected characters --- was perhaps presumptuously large, but I make no apology for it." The reader is of course free to think Waugh is deluded and his theme is a fairy tale, much as Charles at this point in the story still thinks Catholicism/Christianity is hogwash. *But taken on its own terms,* and by the author's explicit acknowledgement, the book takes in perfect seriousness the existence of divine grace.

Non catholic ruins a catholic wedding. Revised title.

You obviously know very little about Catholicism ... about as much as Rex Mottrum!

What an ignorant view of this masterpiece. As a Catholic, I personally was present at the conversions to Catholicism of people I know who viewed this film, and then read the novel. Including gays.

Waugh definitely portrayed Charles as having lost this argument finally “Start a No Popery Riot , But for Heaven’s sake , don’t bore me about it !”

shitty title, and i'm not even catholic

The ending ruined this for me. I adored Brideshead, and have watched it countless times but have only watched the last episode once.

I had never focused so much on this scene and now I can see how crucial it was for holding the tension throughout the last part of the novel/series. And I love that, even through great struggle, Julia does eventually come around. Hands down, one of the best novels and television series ever.

Love this scene, her reaction makes me laugh every time!

It seems completely obvious that not only has the uploader of this video not watched the series of this show nor even seen the entire episode that this clip is from.

I suggest the up-loader of this video go and read the book, and then learn something about its author. What a _horrendous_ misinterpretation of Waugh's work, ideas and beliefs.

If I could give +theTheking1935 a thumbs up, I would.

Hahahaha "Charles Ryder questions the entire idea [RIGHT BEFORE HIS CONVERSION TO CATHOLICISM]"

Hahahaha Oh my goodness, that description! Possibly the most Pro-Catholic novel of the 20th century, possibly of all time, and it's interpreted like some sort of neckbeardian tract! Too-too funny!

Charles asked what the priest is for if a dying man can be reconciled to God just by willing it. Since Bridey (uncharacteristically) doesn't seem to know the Catholic doctrine, here's my stab at it: Normally forgiveness of mortal sins requires absolution from a priest, and that's the only way you can be sure to get it. God is able to work in extraordinary ways, and grant the grace of repentance and forgiveness as He pleases without a sacrament or a priest, but we can't know if or when He will do that. It would be presumptuous to assume that extraordinary grace will be offered to a man who flagrantly rejected the ordinary means of grace when it was available. That's why it's important to provide another chance at the ordinary means of grace, which is confession through a priest.

I've always found it interesting that both devout Catholics and people who aren't religious can love this book, thought they disagree about what it means. I think Evelyn Waugh did that deliberately, and it's a mark of his ability to depict the thinking of both sides. His characters struggle between this world and the next, finding that they can't be successful in both. In the end they all make their choices, and whether you view their lives as tragic or victorious depends on whether happiness in this world is your measure of success.

Bridey is so cute

You do realize the book and author are pro Catholic?

So funny...Protestants invariably see the end of Brideshead as "tragic", while Catholics alone can glean the overwhelming triumph and eternal hope..."If our hope is only for this world, we are the most pitiable of men." Beautiful, enduring, uplifting and victorious!
