The TRUTH Behind the Dark Religious Lore of FAITH: The Unholy Trinity Chapter 2

[@TheCatholicHorrorGal]

What other religious references did you find in this game that I might have missed from not pursuing all the endings for this playthrough? Share! 😎

[@CarlTheSpud]

@TheCatholicHorrorGal I don't know if it's a reference or trope but I always understood Garcia was very unburdened from the world at large. Focused and dedicated to his work piously. The kind of guy you know has the cross carved into every bullet/pellet/etc. I think his threatening to Michael with the wrath of God is him trying to speak TO Michael, even though he is possessed, in frustration.

[@BlacEyedPriest765]

@@TheCatholicHorrorGal Those demon things when you are in the woods at the beginning are creepy 😀😀😀 when you have to scare them off with the cross

[@TheCatholicHorrorGal]

Yeah they're probably the creepiest ones in the game.

[@TheCatholicHorrorGal]

Good point.

[@Neoaro-m3x]

"I have a Ph.D. In the Bible, not in gameplay" My stomach hurts now from laughter, thank you very much!

[@ALocalClown]

The newspaper column that transitions into the letter to John is an all time horror game moment.

[@TheCatholicHorrorGal]

Right?!

[@TehFlush]

I'm a dad with young kids and with a stressful full time job, so I don't really have time to play many games anymore. I really enjoy this series. Looking forward to the final installment.

[@TheCatholicHorrorGal]

Thank you!!

[@sierrasmith8746]

I discovered this channel by accident, and I'm delighted. This is incredibly interesting, and you speak clearly enough that I don't need captions to understand you. Exceptional information. Knowing that "Lucifer" is from Latin for "Light bearer" makes me want to see what other religious imagery I've missed in We Happy Few.

[@rogershaftly6976]

Such a great game, the creator Airdorf did an interview with Wendigoon that's pretty good where he talks about some of the inspiration and his own religious experience

[@mashtonish]

when you level up your gamer skills, you can become the catholic gamer gal. this was a fun video for a good game. it's like a "lore-through" (lore + walkthrough)

[@TheCatholicHorrorGal]

Lore-through, I love it. I'm going to start using that before everyone else does 😄 I've been gaming for years but this one was just tough with the mechanics.

[@jaybrosia4971]

I am not fluent in any faith, but I am very interested in hearing your musings as a Catholic scholar on how the demons/monsters are depicted in the game! Some of it is really abstract, like the constant use of tree branches and arms. So I'm looking forward to more as a new subscriber!

[@TheCatholicHorrorGal]

Thanks! Demons aren't described in the Bible, but angels are, and in rather surprising ways -- for example, having four faces and six wings, being covered entirely with eyes, etc. As demons are considered to be fallen angels in the Christian tradition, we might expect them to look similar yet a corrupted version.

[@HammytheDevourer]

Ah yes, my daily dose of Mortis.

[@MADGuy248]

Someone mentioned the dev Airdorf’s interview with Wendigoon already, but I want to bring up as well that Airdorf addressed John’s relationship with Molly. Basically, since his pastorship was revoked, he got very escapist from his life. At some point that period, he married Molly. Molly left the relationship off-stage though because she couldn’t bare the stress from John’s struggles throughout FAITH’s story. It’s very cool to see a Catholic commentary of the game since Airdorf is a Protestant Christian, so what he could comment about the game comes primarily from his experience as one.

[@TheCatholicHorrorGal]

Thanks for that backstory. It still leaves a ton of questions though because these are a number of ways that a priest can be suspended from the ministry, and if John was completely stripped of his priestly faculties he wouldn't be able to do an exorcism.

[@MasterofSwords991]

Perfect timing i just rolled a joint

I saw this video uploaded as soon as I was coming back from seeing that there are 40 minutes to go on a 3D print so timing was perfect. Keep em coming. I am loving this series

[@hexkex750]

4:40 i just understood it as Garcia speaking to the demon itself, not the child. At this stage of possession, by a demon this powerful, it's hard to say that it's Michael speaking and in control, or that he is even present in the body anymore.

[@TheCatholicHorrorGal]

Yeah good point.

[@flannelmcmannel]

While a lot of the exorcism processes arent accurate in the game, I really like how it does a good job of showing/describing how people invite demons into their life whether they know it or not. Keep up the great work!

[@VmigoStation]

When I head "Suffer the children" my mind instantly went to the first Spiderman movie. I couldn't help but hear in my head Dafoe going "Or suffer the little children..." 😂 I can't wait for Chapter 3!

[@TheCatholicHorrorGal]

It's certainly made its way into the culture, but unfortunately it's widely misunderstood and folks get a very wrong impression from it.

[@FernBlackwood1995]

Your content is genuinely so underrated. Thanks for your work, and congrats on your growing channel. You absolutely deserve it! 👍🏻

[@TheCatholicHorrorGal]

Thank you!!

[@Lalairu]

Love these series, thanks! By the way I didn't fully understand what you said about "suffer the children", I couldn't get the word you mentioned. It just means "let them come to me"? English isn't my mother language and I struggle with some words sometimes. Thanks again! I hope I can watch "Heretic" soon so I can see your analysis. Cheers!

[@TheCatholicHorrorGal]

You got it, in "older modern" English (like Shakespeare, for example), which is what the King James Bible translation was written in, "suffer" means "allow". Actually, Aragon says it to the chief of the dead army in Return of the King -- "You will suffer me" (to pass). So when Jesus says "suffer the children come to me" it means "let the children come to me".

[@Lalairu]

@@TheCatholicHorrorGal oh okay, I know you said something similar to allow but I couldn't get the word 🤣🤣 thanks a lot for the fast reply.

[@WhammyLooper]

I really like both of the formats of your videos, I think both fit the channel really well!

[@SandovalRoldanR]

Me encanta tu canal y me alegra haber encontrado tu contenido! ❤ I’m curious of the use of languages in rites and exorcisms, are they basically the same throughout all languages? Is there any language where it doesn’t work? Haha that would be a bummer

[@TheCatholicHorrorGal]

LOL I don't think there's a language that doesn't work at all, but Catholic exorcists have said that Latin is far more effective than English.

[@SandovalRoldanR]

@@TheCatholicHorrorGal perfecto *looking for exorcisms in bengali*

[@tisiphoneXalexandria]

YES! Love the additional context that you give concerning scripture and how the Catholic church operates. Looking forward to you going through the last part of the triology!

[@biankapaloma]

You talked about the biblical origins of 1st class relics, Second Class relics are found in the NT, in Acts 19: 11-12. I love that you are giving cathechism classes in your horror themed videos. TY God Bless.

[@chunkysenpai7930]

I love the little detail from the confessional that the entity on the other side doesn't capitalize "He" when referring to God. If it wasn't already obvious that John was talking to a demon or cultist, that's a solid giveaway.

[@TheCatholicHorrorGal]

That's a great observation. Do the other characters capitalize it? I hadn't noticed. I think they do?... Another giveaway is the red font 😎

[@chunkysenpai7930]

Yeah, the red font and the spooky voice also make it pretty clear, but I felt the capitalization was a nice touch to hammer it in even more. As far as I remember from playing the game when it came out, all references to God are capitalized by the good characters, only the villains use lower case. It's kinda funny when you think about it though. How does one speak in lower case? 😂 Great video as always, can't wait for part 3!

[@CarlTheSpud]

All right! Let's get it on! Cant wait for your commentary on the games' use of "King Of Pain" Religious or not.

[@RedSpade37]

Excellent video, and I wanted to add that, during the Pandemonium Regnat newspaper, the line "Thou shalt not raise up what thou canst not put down again" is in the Simon Necronomicon, allegedly written by Peter Lavenda, but I'm not sure if it was originally Biblical. But with the other Lovecraft references, especially in Chapter 1, I wonder if the developer of this game had originally intended the story to be more Lovecraftian Cosmic Horror (Just look at the design of The Unspeakable) instead of more traditional Religious Horror. It's a stretch, but I just thought I'd mention it. But yeah, can't wait for Chapter 3!

[@yukiminsan]

Before watching the video I'm just gonna say my interpretation of Chapter 2 is that as horrifying of a nightmare as it is I believe it was a vision from God to help John defeat the cult

[@MorbSquad420]

I just discovered your channel and I absolutely love it. I'm an Orthodox Christian who enjoys horror a lot and I'm even writing an Orthodox horror story. It's nice to meet fellow Christians who enjoy horror. I can't wait to see your theological analysis of Chapter 3 and I was wondering if you can do a Catholic analysis on The Omen 1976. God Bless and have a wonderful day.

[@TheCatholicHorrorGal]

I do plan to cover the classics like the original The Omen!

Great video 👍 we need more could you do a video about full metal alchemist brotherhood and berserk also berserk has similar religious influence to Black Clover and if you wanna do a video about Undertale and Deltarune do not forget to see the secret in the games. A lot of people miss them they have religious influence

[@TheCatholicHorrorGal]

That's a lot 😄 But thanks, I'll look into some of these!

Awesome Vid! Thank You very much for Your Work! Greetings from Germany!

The Horror Of Salazar House is very creepy not sure if it's Religious horror but still a good horror game 😊😊😊

[@CarlTheSpud]

26:36 "SORROWFUL BE THE HEART PENITENT ONE." Ok ok i swear im quitting that. If you had anything more to say on reconciliation SPECIFICALLY, that would be interesting. Thats just kind of the etymologist in me.

[@TheCatholicHorrorGal]

The word or the sacrament?

[@CarlTheSpud]

@TheCatholicHorrorGal the word. Reconciliation. I dropped off the Roman Catholic bandwagon at the sacrament of confirmation as my young brain understood it was "conforming" to baptism but I wasn't crazy about the idea of Conforming to an organized religion. This led to me confessing these things to my priest, not in a confessiary but in an empty church, he had set aside time to discuss this with me. Long story short I walked away understanding everything was about MY connection to God. While also asking questions he felt were more appropriate for a bishop. Spiritually that conversation was a complete doorkick. I was open to so many ideas. Sorry that turned into a bit of a tangent unrelated to penance/reconciliation. Some event decades ago ;p

[@سلمانقتل]

22:32 and some Muslim groups also have something like Relics

[@SuperOnigiripanda]

As far as my experience with Protestants in America, everything in the Bible is literal without any examination of how it would have been interpreted when it was written. Unfortunately. (Not speaking for every Protestant, just my experience with evangelists and Pentecostals.

[@CarlTheSpud]

Lutheranism would be a good "Protestant" lense to try?

[@kaiserdamasus1978]

​@@CarlTheSpud Well, pretty much all of Protestantism comes with its own baggage... Protestantism is a much later... spin-off of Christianity, to put it gently.

[@CarlTheSpud]

@kaiserdamasus1978 Martin is like... the OG protestant though. To be clear this is IN protest to the Catholic Church. Quite literally. So the "baggage" is relevant. Early Christianity, in many ways, predates Catholicism. I hear Lutherans referred to as "Catholic Lites" but there is more to it than that. I have learned with them and worshipped.

[@raphaelledesma9393]

If you go Lutheran, Presbyterian, and Episcopalians, they read Scripture similarly. Many of them still utilize a similar leadership structure having bishops, priests/pastors, etc so they read Scripture in a more nuanced manner using philosophy and history and writings of the Church Fathers. Evangelicals and Pentecostals are even newer movements so it makes sense that they are in a way more radically different especially in terms of theology, Scriptures, etc. For instance, the Rapture is an idea that sprung from them since most Christians before the 19th century didn't believe in it. I think even present day Lutherans, etc don't mostly.

[@CarlTheSpud]

@raphaelledesma9393 Lutherans are Calvinist with more liturgy and sacraments. I guess I don't understand the predestination aspect of lutheranism.

[@philiplewis1989]

When are we going to get a The First Omen analysis? 😃

[@TheCatholicHorrorGal]

Stay tuned 😉

[@kaiserdamasus1978]

@TheCatholicHorrorGal I mainly want to hear your take on the villains... It really doesn't make much sense but is hamfisted theo-political leftist junk. They ruined it like that. Historically in real life Freemasons and Satanists were the rumoured infiltrators and that made sense... But in the bizzaro world of The First Omen, the infiltrators of the Church are... orthodox Catholics?!?

[@BlacEyedPriest765]

It's a very dark game for sure 😊😊

[@mudhoneyy5052]

I would be interested to see your take on blasphemous! It is known to be inspired by Spanish Catholicism but I would love to learn about the nuances and maybe about some myths that inspired some of the characters :)
