The Man Who Played a 'Nefarious' Demon - The Vortex

[@EpoRose1]

Sean Patrick Flannery isn’t going to be nominated for any awards- the movie just calls out too many truths for Hollywood for them to handle- but he deserves one.

[@chazarcola7639]

You speak TRUTHFULLY. Thank you for this posted comment.

[@garciamadrid9040]

It’ll be us Christians who need to give the award to Sean Flannery. He need our prayers for him to stay strong to his faith. That we will include the likes of Catholic Christian actors Shia LaBeouf, Jim Caviesel, Mel Gibson, and other Christian actors/actresses in Hollywood who follow the right path and the truth.

[@HollyGreen-mq9uk]

oh you have no idea what you're talking about

[@randymuaythai492]

Top notch acting by Sean. Love the transition from nefarious to Edward vice versa. 👏

[@KatWoodland]

Yes

[@kamelhaj6850]

The fact that this movie scored close to a ten with its viewers but only a three with the Hollyweird elite tells me that it's a massive success!

[@boomerreb4997]

Amen! 35 rating by critics on Rotten Tomatoes and 94 by audience.

[@leapdrive]

It is God protecting Flannery to have him unaffected by the evil role he played and continue to live out his life as normal as possible. In fact, what’s normal for him seem to be as a good family man living out his faith, and that’s what God wants him to do. This is God’s way as always to do things for His greater glory.

[@garciamadrid9040]

Amen.

[@ColonelStraker]

Amen! As for actors channeling, LITTLE LIGHT STUDIOS channel has a MUST-SEE 2 part series on this exact topic, including named actors and interview clips of them confessing to this dangerous approach.

[@bijou737]

Excellent interview. He's one of the very few normal actors! Wishing Sean Patrick Flanery and the entire cast and crew great recognition and success with this movie!

[@immaculateheart1267]

I didnt know him so I googled him and saw lots of images that looked a bit wild, so I don't know his true spiritual stance (everybody has a past including me and can change) but he did a great job in the movie.

[@jmflyer55]

@@immaculateheart1267 ??? “Images that looked a bit wild”??? What were you doing, looking for a way to condemn him by a photograph? He’s NOT a Catholic, he made that very clear. And what difference does that even make, when the discussion is about a MOVIE?

[@immaculateheart1267]

@@jmflyer55 he is being interviewed on several catholic shows and asked about his faith and spirituality, and I know this is about the movie. I can have my opinion. I just am leary about ppl putting him on a spiritual pedestal. He may be a good actor but he's no Jim Caviezel.

[@immaculateheart1267]

And besides I was just looking him up not "looking for dirt". That's not a very well thought out view you have, and Im not condemning him just stating what I saw. Can one not look someone up and to see what their all about?

[@tiger.wolf.2033]

@@immaculateheart1267 you are the one judging him and putting another actor in a pedestal. If you wish that all actors were like JC, you are out of your mind. That's not God's plan to anybody, He doesn't produce clones and copies in serial from another soul He has created. Everybody has their own lifestory and it is not up to us to say who is good, bad or wild based on pictures, videos or their past lives. Mel Gibson, in the past, did a lot of BS in his life, even cheated on his wife with prostitutes, she ended up divorcing him too. Don't many Catholics put him in a pedestal too? here in this interview we need to focus on his work as an actor -- his private life is his problem not ours. His heart and his soul are a subject between he and God himself. We are not God's prosecutors and we are not the ones to decide who must be or not criticized or interviewed, and how Church Militant should take the subject to its public. If you disagree with this channel and wants to be their editor, why don't you send your Resumé? Maybe they have a vacancy there for you.

[@debatingcatholic5020]

Mr. Flannery _does_ indeed deserve an oscar!

[@chazarcola7639]

Mel Gibson deserved an Oscar for directing The Passion Of The Christ. He didn't get one. But Martin Scorsese was nominated for The Last Temptation Of Christ. Blasphemy. Go figure. Patricia Heaton and the cast of The Middle also deserved Emmys during their 9 seasons. They got nothing as well. Sean Patrick Flanery deserves an Oscar but Hollywood won't give him one based on previous examples.

[@debatingcatholic5020]

I am seeing the movie this weekend and I have high hopes. I’m sure it’s amazing and he’s an amazing actor! We’re supposed to use our talents for God. And that in itself is the award!

As an agnostic, I loved this movie and the acting. I've probably watched it four times now. The movie was such a wonderful commentary on the state of affairs of this evil world. Regardless of one's belief system, there is no denying that we are in a battle of good versus evil.

[@bv5278]

Probably the best and most true movie I’ve ever seen other than the Passion of the Christ. It was very humbling and makes me realize how ungrateful, ignorant, and arrogant we have been. This guy deserves an Oscar if those even matter any more

[@carmenreyes387]

[@ryanj99]

It's great to see a solid, grounded actor. One who values family and his faith. Too many sell out nowadays. I rarely go to movies but after watching this I was blown away. Makes you realize the very real war that is going on b/w good and evil. And SPF deserves an oscar 👏

[@sharondrury5676]

“Hats off to Sean”. 60 years ago my major in college was Speech and drama. There were actors who were so involved with their characters that I couldn’t find their real personalities. They actually sounded and verbiage from scripts were their personality. Totally changed those I knew from grade and high school. It was unbelievably scary. God bless you, Michael Voris. May the Lord protect Sean and his family and bless them with His love and care forever.

[@theyliveyousleep8965]

Many famous actors openly admit they allow another character to ENTER them. Ever notice how the early movie industry up til the 1990’s- people acted parts like a high school play. But now, actors are completely one with the character they are acting…?

[@the-LeoKnightus]

Thanks for having the bravery to make the most important movie of the year, maybe top 5 ever.

[@annalisasgentile1412]

He deserves an award.

[@djoh615893]

He did such an outstanding job in this movie. His transitions from Edward to Nefarious were believable, especially that part where Edward comes through, then he is Nefarious again punishing Edward for breaking a rule. That abortion scene was something else entirely. Counting down and saying "..and all of Hell rejoices" was a powerful moment. He really shows the diabolical intellect and pure malice of demonic intent. He deserves to be recognized for being able to deliver such a great performance in the movie.

When we go to confession for a serious sin we need to tell if we were also receiving the Eucharist during that time because receiving the Eucharist while in serious sin is another serious sin and we haven't made a good confession until we confess all the serious sin.

When working people, Christians, are often going to bed to get up for work the next day. And the R rating, how ridiculous.
