A trend I see with people getting back into their religion is how much more beautiful they get. I don’t know if it’s because they’re happier or looking after their self more, but their beauty just seems to shine through. You were already beautiful before you got back into Catholicism, but now you look etherial!
Woah did she upload any video of her testimony of why she got out or how she got back? I love to hear and see these kinds of things. Makes me see more of how God actually is very much alive and as He works in the unseen.
okay but i think it’s funny that, an example being Lucifer or Jane the Virgin, people think that it’s perfectly fine making fun of or bashing Christianity/Catholicism, but not one person can make a jab at Hinduism or any other religion without facing backlash or getting cancelled. it’s a double-standard and i think that should be called out more often in media
It's an agenda. An anti Christian one cz plenty of demon worshipping witches there in Hollywood. This info is from a testimony of an ex aspiring actress currently a practicing catholic.
Media only shows what people will watch more. It's because Hindus and Muslims will protest vigorously against this shows but not the Christians. They don't want to be cancelled.
The more that I grow in my Catholic Faith the harder it is for me to watch any of the shows and movies that I used to. Shows that I found funny and entertaining are now cringe fests for me. I attribute this to the Holy Spirit warning me that I am polluting the Spirit and that I should feed it with better material.
One of the sisters who taught at my high school, always told us, that it's okay to watch fantasy as long as you don't play with satanic elements from those shows, books etc. She warned us about ouiji boards, spells etc, even said that you can read horoscopes for fun, but to never believe in them. I feel as long as you understand the rights and wrongs from what you are watching, and be able to tell your children to know the difference between fiction and nonfic, i think some shows are okay. Even with music, I feel like kids these days shouldn't be listening to. P.S I found you on tik tok and I'm so glad that you are teaching basic Catholicism. As a 25 year old Catholic born and raised, I really appreciate you.
I know what shes saying and i totally get what she means, i just..ehhh still dont think its the best to expose ourselves to it anyways bc kids who are exposed to it could potentially end up believing in it at some point. I appreciate the support 💕💕💕💕💕💕
I am glad that this nun warned you to not do the spells but I wish she had been clear that it’s not okay to expose ourselves to anything demonic. Fr. Gabriel Amorth, was the chief exorcist in Rome, he passed away a few years ago. In his book An Exorcist Tells His Story he clearly says to not get anywhere near evil bc it’s a risk. You give evil an inch and it takes a ruler or worse!
I’m catholic and I loved Jane the virgin, I watched all 5 seasons and genuinely loved it and I never even thought about the bad reputation it gave to Catholics, it’s crazy that it’s so normalised that even a catholic doesn’t think anything of it but you’re completely right 🌼
Really late response, but I absolutely loved the first two seasons. It was when they started to normalize maturation even with the faithful abuela that I started to feel icked at the portrayal of Catholics. And I was a relatively anti-Catholic protestant at the time. It's gross to see Christianity hijacked in TV
I got back to my Catholic Faith during the Lockdowns in 2020 and before that I used to be really, really leftist. I even thought I was gay. I watched a lot of LGBT-Friendly shows and movies back in the day, but since I got back into my Faith, I try to monitor what kind of media I consume, because consuming pro-lgbt is what actually made me believe I was gay in the first place. So I try to avoid these as best as possible.
My daughter, who’s in HS, just recently found u on Instagram ... and I am so glad and blessed she did. My daughter told me one day - “Mom, I found this funny devout young Catholic girl on Instagram!” I checked your different videos & TikTok. Your story of reconversion is similar to mine. I love conversion stories and Catholics on fire. Continue being a light in this world. May God continue to bless u! Trying to watch all your UA-cam videos now. Very good channel! 💖🙏🏼😊
This is one of the reasons I love 1930s-1950s films and TV shows, they were suitable for all, they had the best romance movies without promoting sex or debauchery, they had the best thrillers without promoting violence. Thanks to the hays code, they instilled morals into people and didn't promote debauchery as normal like today. I wish the hays code still existed tbh.
Yes, the old films portrayed sex and debauchery but did not promote them. That’s a big difference right there. Funnily enough this also seemed to benefit the films because it enabled film makers to be subtle and metaphorical 😎 I’m thinking Wells and Hitchcock here
The film that broke the code: the pawnbroker. The producers got away with it because the Catholic Church abandoned their own organizations, because of V2, and because it was a Holocaust film with porn snuck in.
We need a Catholic movie studio to tell beautiful stories. People are now converting to different religions (i.e., Marvel, DC, etc.) via the apt use of cinema. If CINEMA can do that, what if it is used the RIGHT way?
I think it's a wonderful thing that a girl of your age talks to her peers and explains so well what is best to avoid and why, yours is a wonderful initiative, don't stop!
I am a couple of generations older than you but let me say I am thankful to see an intelligent woman of your generation speaking out against the culture and standing up for our beautiful faith. It gives me hope that my young children will not be alone. God bless and keep you.
The most important thing we need to do as Christians is to consecrate ourselves and our children to Mary , when we choose Mary to protect our children and ask her to be their guide the devil has no authority over them , he cannot step into that household because satan is not permitted there.
I find all television shows are so anti Catholic. I can’t watch anything anymore as I feel it’s all demonic. Everything is about witches, vampires and demons.
I appreciate your voice to the young people. Born in the 50s I grew up where people took pleasure dressing up beautifully everyday. I grew up watching shows that had morals and characters of values, courtesy. I’ve been home sick for two days with no energy to do much but watch tv, which I rarely do, and I can’t because there is nothing but junk. I appreciate you, Religious Hippie, for share this. Well done. 👍🙏
I feel a great sadness when I now look back on programmes like vampire diaries and lucifer, but not sad for myself but sadness for the actors and the watching public. God bless
Love your videos, I’m so glad to see more young people coming to the faith (myself included, I’m 17). I converted around two years ago, got devout over the last year.
In the middle of a TV show or movie, it will dawn on my the dark, dark messages that are being slipped into the story, usually very attractively packaged. Its that moment when you go, "Whoa! Nope, this is getting turned off."
thank you so much for making this video and bringing awareness to shows like this. i always love your content and as a young catholic i always learn so much from you ❤️
I think you did one of the most brave things someone can do in his or her life: Admitting that you did errors, that you made something wrong in the past. Going in front of a camera and making a video about satanic stuff you have watched and sharing it with thousands of people. You've earned my greatest respect
Similar to your story, one that I originally loved was Buffy the Vampire Slayer. About the first 3 seasons were pretty good and entertaining; demons were bad guys to be killed by a good (if imperfect) person, compelling characters, funny lines, etc. After that, things went downhill. Demons became 'misunderstood' persons, her friend Willow becomes a witch and goes gay, and even eventually resurrects Buffy from heaven. As if you could bring a person out of heaven with witchcraft... (sigh).
Riverdale: Once you realize these people are portraying kids who are like freshman and sophomore in high school (not college 20-somethings) it just gets more creepy how they act it out. Also Veronica has a Catholic confirmation that is absolutely nothing like an actual Catholic service.
I honestly do not understand why Anime was just thrown on at the end of the list. Anime is not a Tv show or movie, it's a specific art style that developed in Japan, specifically, it is the animation of comics or cartoons known as manga. Since it is an art medium, it has the potential to have good or bad parts to the same extent as any other show. This is not to say that oversexualization of women in particular within the genre does not exist as a historical fact, but not all shows see the need to include that as a trope in their shows or films. There are many anime films that are wholesome, for example many movies produced by Studio Ghibli. I recently watched the movie Princess Mononoke with a group of friends to discuss the strong themes underlying the film about the roles of men and women, man's relationship to nature, and different conceptions of good and evil. Other animated series such as Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Avatar the Last Airbender, SpyXFamily etc, promote values and virtues that are compatible with Catholic philosophy. I belive that anime has a lot to offer as an artistic medium, and I've watched a lot of shows that discuss deep questions common to the human expirience, such as the fruitlessness of revenge, the importance of family, weather true pacifism is possible in a fallen world, etc. I am honestly disappointed to find this genre dismissed in such a superficial way, as a Catholic and a philosopher I think that before recommending something on the "do not watch list" you should put forth solid reasons. I enjoyed this video, and I agreed with a lot of the shows she took the time to discuss, but please don't just list 20 at the end and include a WHOLE ART GENRE without at least doing a quick google.
Totally agree with you. I got rid of my TV years ago and never looked back. Its a very rare event for me to go out and see a Hollywood film. ( I dont mind old black and white films pre 1960s , especially films about faith and religion, or Christian History/ Biblical movies etc ) These days I watch way to much Catholic UA-cam videos )))). Totally addictive .... and maybe some music or historical programs ... that's all I need. The rest of my day is very full ... Bible reading, ethics, apologetics, prayer, more Bible reading.....
I might be agnostic, but I still know this stuff isn't a joke. Even though I'm not religious, I still try to stick to light-hearted shows, historical dramas, Korean dramas, or documentaries (or shows like House Hunters, gotta love House Hunters lol). I still hear all the time "but I thought you weren't religious, why don't you want to watch it?" for shows like Lucifer, Twilight, Supernatural, and horror movies in general. Even shows like Real Housewives or Selling Sunset are personally off-limits because I feel like the last thing we need right now is glorifying rich people for wasting money on materialistic lifestyles. Spirituality aside, people wonder why more and more teens and young adults have more mental health issues (myself included) when, just look, the majority of shows created for them are suuuper dark and depressing.
We stopped watching the same exact shows! All of a sudden I started losing interest even though I was obsessed with SuperNatural. This is how I know God was helping me stay away from things that would push me away from him. Praise God
Growing up in the 80’s & 90’s I was an avid reader of the Archie/Betty & Veronica comics. When I saw a show based on Sabrina the Teenage Witch was coming out with Kiernan Shipka who I loved on Mad Men as the lead I was excited to watch it. However I was quickly put off by the incredibly dark & demonic subject matter. As an adult I can watch this & know better but I thought about all the young ppl watching this & being influenced to get involved with the occult. Scary stuff indeed
My dad did the same when he first gave me the books. Personally I love them in many levels, and I don't see the problem with the magic in the books since wizards in Harry Potter aren't normal people. Technically we're all muggles and incapable to perform proper magic, according to the Harry Potter world. I did get afraid for a while becauae I heard it was bad, but then I started seeing that there were even Christian topics that I could more easily understand thanks to the books. It's no surprise, since the author was also influenced by Christian authors. Whether she did it on purpose or not, she did add a lot of the Christian sentiment, and it's a shame that deviant groups started using the series as their thing. The magic stuff is the context and it's clear that it's a different nature from ours. The real themes are inside. But yeah, some people do stick to the outer layer and try to perform real magic, which is very very bad, and just like my dad warned me before giving me the books, maybe the books should come with a precaution note reminding that it's all fiction. (Although I think it is clear from the story itself)
I agree with so many of these. I would also add "Gossip Girl" and "Pretty Little Liars" to the list. That said, I do have a question: you said all witchcraft is bad witchcraft. Don't get me wrong, I do agree. And I mostly agree with your sentiments on Harry Potter (not to mention that it promotes LGBTQ retroactively). However, what are your thoughts on J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings?" It has a lot of magic in it, but it's written by a devout Catholic and in many ways meant to be a Catholic work of literature! Would love to hear your thoughts! :)
I actually did a video comparing LOTR and HP awhie back, if you scroll thru my video's its an easy find :) but no there is no such thing as good witchcraft or white witches, it is all demonic
There is magic but for example Gandalf is not portrayed as a wizard in the way that Dumbledore is for example. Rather, Gandalf's magic comes from above through his service to the Secret Fire of Eru Ilúvatar (the One God ;) )
Good girl!! Thank you for your honesty and faithfulness to the teachings of the Catholic Church. Keep repeating until your blue ... you never know who is listening. It really does impact us in many ways. I love that you began with Matthew 6:22 from the DR.
Thanks for making this series of videos. I used to watch a few of those shows, mainly Riverdale and the first episode of Nancy Drew. You are absolutely right that these shows are HORRIBLE! Sex, Drugs, Revenge, Paranormal demonic activity, I could go on. Luckily I got off the CW Teen Drama band wagon years ago so I don't watch all that bad stuff now. It's sad that there are still some people that take pleasure from these shows.
When I was younger I was obsessed with scary movies and books. Now that I’m older I cannot watch movies, tv shows or books pertaining to demonic things.
Supernatural season 1 though when it started it was all just about two brothers traveling the country taking on monsters from American folk legends then it just started descending into the downward spiral of so many things that the network coulf put together just to keep the show running 👌🏻👌🏻
After is even worse people glorify the fact Hardin slept with tessa for a dare and used her innocence mark bloody sheets and showed them to his frat gang and they still got back together which is disgusting and people ship them
The funny thing , I've heard less religious people complain about the same shows that you talk about , saying that it's immature and doesn't make sense...and I realize you're right. It's marketed towards teenagers , and that's whats wrong with it. Market it to some middle aged or millennial liberal , but not to teenagers. Even Netflix's UA-cam page keeps on leaking on everybody's recommended. Because they pay youtube. And it's wrong really.
Game of thrones. Mostly because of the decline in quality of the writing and because of the gigantic ripoff of an ending, and they threw so much sexposition and porn at us in between.
As a mama, I can NOT watch horror movies anymore. NOPE. I hated the one annabelle where the demon made the mom think she threw her baby out. I will not watch any possession movies anymore and I can not stand movies where babies get hurt. It makes me cry, I have nightmares for days, I'm just overall affected. I wish more people would put out Christian movies. I grew up watching Pollyanna, I love Fatima, The Mission, Silence, there's one i can't remember where a priest builds boysville, the Chosen is great too!
I actually enjoy watching the elena scenes, it can help people going through a touch time like her, she is basically depressed but for some reason isn't in therapy...but it's kinda healing seeing her heal in some ways throughout the show...if I watch it I skip around...I wish it was just about her and without vampires
Friends. They way they objectify women and glorify porn is terrible. How did i never see that?! And the strange thing is they are carrying Friends merchandise in the toy shops now including Lego!
I am Returning Catholic. I am careful what I want . I make sure there's no cuss words. Make sure there's no nudely . I used to watch horror movies. I don't do that anymore. That type of movie Scares Cannot sleep. I'm 66 . I'm a practice Catholic. I try to do the right things . Jesus Christ, We are in the world, but not of it.
One of the shows I would add to shows I regret watching when I was away from Catholicism is Stranger Things. It is VERY dark and messed with me mentally and spiritually. Would not recommend any Catholic watch that.
I'm a Baptist and live in Johannesburg, South Africa (originally from Cameroon,W.Africa) and I've watched some movies I regret watching too including "Mother" and "Siren". Gld I never got around to watching "Fifty Shades of Grey". The "Wrong Turn" movies too are pretty gruesome. Stopped watching porn nearly 2 years ago.
I’m pretty sure the lady who burned down her house casting the Harry Potter spell lived in Spain I do agree with you about Hunger Games though! I (unfortunately) watched it at a young age and was scared to death of it.
I found Lucifer to be hilarious and also prompted me to examine Christianity again, and I’m now on my way to becoming Catholic. So it’s done some good. Of course it’s nothing like reality, except in one way. Fr Dan Rehil once encountered Satan, in a Miami beach bar, being exactly like lucifer from the series. He’s also done a fascinating interview with Michael Knowles, which is well worth watching. FR Rehil gained notoriety for banning Harry Potter from a school library and is an exorcist. Bit of a career change as he was a Wall St banker for 20 years prior to taking orders.
I was obsessed with Supernatural and will never watch it again. I feel bad I watched it with my kids. They love Charmed because of it but I’m gonna have to stop them.
my kids sometimes ask me if certain shows/movies/songs are appropriate for children. in some cases i have to tell them that no, it isn't, and it frankly isn't appropriate for adults either!
Alright, I understand most of those. Harry Potter, though, is too far....you can watch something without endorsing what it portrays! Yeah there's witchcraft portrayed, but it's being shown to convey a message that's acutally quite uplifting. Many aspects of it are inspired by or at least related to Christianity, and I think you can see that in the storyline - I've heard of professors at Christian schools writing theses on how the Gospel is told by ideology portrayed by HP! No disrespect to you, though I think this is going a bit far. In any case though, act in accord with what God has convicted you of!
I watched the first few seasons of Lucifer during my kinda agnostic towards the existence of God. I don't think it did any lasting damage as shortly after I started getting into Matt Frad's podcast Pints with Aquinas (highly recommend) but it helped to show me the evil Netflix was permitting and promoting and was definitely the straw that broke the camel's back and led me to stop watching Netflix all together.
Vampire Diaries, The Craft, Practical Magic, and Wandavision for all it's witchcraft, and Station 19 and Grays Anatomy for all it's sexual content, plus non binary indoctrination, and teaching that children being trans should be normalized.
I agree with Sabrina. But I love HP and always will. I also love supernatural. I’m a devout Catholic. But I can still enjoy these things. As long as you teach it’s not real and just fantasy.
Neither are okay, favoring one does not change the spiritual aspect of it. Both are not good to be watching, I cannot control what you do but praying about it would be beneficial. God bless
I regret watching the following TV shows: Sabrina the teenage witch, the 1996 TV series with Melissa Joan Hart; Buffy the Vampire Slayer; Charmed- the oringinal with Shannon Doughtery, et al. I'm now strong in my faith, especially after making my Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary. A few years after my Total Consecration, it started to make sense to veil.
I regret watching MANY MANY movies. I won't point them out because they are too many, but I want to say that ¡it is very difficult to purify your mind after watching those things! It is not easy, and if you don't make the exercise you will probably never have a pure mind again. I am currently working on that, and still am afraid that if I get a boyfriend right now I won't be able to have a saint relationship. But I trust Jesus and his Holy Mother to protect me, and turn away all the impurity that youtube, instagram, movies and tv shows brought into me.
Hey just wonder if you should confess things like these when in confession? Im not catholic, but deeply considering converting. Trying to learn as much as possible. Thanks❤️
You have to go thru RCIA before you can go to confession, which im sure you know, but yes if you watched something impure you can state so in a confession
I’m curious to see why someone put the office. I’m not looking for an argument or anything, but it’s one of my favorite shows, one I’ve watched many times, and I don’t recall anything explicitly anti catholic. American Horror Story might be another one. I really enjoy it, but there are certainly some anti catholic elements in certain episodes. I haven’t seen unpregnant yet, so I won’t judge it, but from what I’ve seen, it seems like it glorifies abortion, and that’s terrible.
I don't think the Office is explicitly anti-Catholic, but it is very immoral. I believe Angela is supposed to be Catholic and has pre-marital sex, so that shows some anti-Catholisism.
I remember trying Secret Life of the American Teenager because it's from the same creators of 7th Heaven, which is such a wonderful show, and then being so disappointed by Secret Life. Secret Life tried to be a PSA for not having sex before marriage, but I think they kind of forgot their message as it went along and turned into a soap opera for teenagers.
I really regret being obsessed with Insane Clown Posse, horror movies, mainly Rob Zombie, and Jay and Silent Bob. I remember a while back seeing the trailers for Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back Reboot and my friends were surprised that I have absolutely no interest anymore.
As for Harry Potter I think that you shouldn’t mention the woman who burnt her house down she tried to make a “potion” with oil alcohol and toothbrush containing two highly flammable ingredients so I don’t think it’s proof Harry Potter is evil. It might even make us look a bit silly to say it’s evil in my opinion, but I respect the opinion. I have heard from priests and the Vatican that it is not bad but priests and the Vatican can be wrong and priests will also say the opposite thing about Harry Potter.
Before I became a devoute catholic, i watch the entire series of Jane the virgin with my mother, sister. We loved it for what it was especially at that time we related to Jane, for being (lukewarm) catholic and this whole guilt trip which is an actual thing for latino community. However, after becoming a devout catholic, i thought to rewatch a few scenes of the series out of curiousity and now i can't even think of watching it. There a whole of disrespect and oblivion to Jane's family, especially grandma, which she tried following the "rules" but never really questioned why in the first place.... Anyway thank you for your video! loved it!
Hi! Have you watched Jonathan Pageau's videos on symbolism? He is Orthodox. He made a video about Lil Naz X's video. The thing is, I believe one should avoid the specificity of evil (the how-to's and lore surrounding in-show witchcraft) to avoid getting tangled up in it, but sometimes it's inevitable. The enemy wasn't fully sketched out when Christianity began, yet by the time of Dante we have a literal map of hell as part of Christian understanding. On the other hand monsters and "satanic" themes can be used in service of a an important message, like that evil doesn't get the last word. So if you are not too nerdy and don't get invested in a show's lore (like when my parents used to mix up pokémon's name to my dismay) but can take in the good morals (that there is a St. George to every dragon, as Chesterton put it) you can make it worthwhile. For instance, I have a friend that isn't a fully-fully-practicing, life-investing Catholic, but from all she knows about ouija board from the horror movies she enjoys watching, she has set on her mind that she won't let her children sit remotely close to a ouija board on her watch.
As a fellow Catholic, I wouldn't suggest taking Dante's description of hell literally. It's just his own creation. Read the lives of the saints for more accurate descriptions of hell
Before I became a Christian, I lived a very hedonistic life and would habitually consume entertainment (video games, movies, television, etc) at least 5 hours per day. Sometimes upwards of 16 hours per day on days that I didn't have school/work. I thought absolutely nothing of it. When I first became a Christian through nondenominational/Protestant churches, I still continued to live hedonistically, because "As long as I believe in Jesus, that's what matters. I don't need to live differently." Now that I have become Catholic and fallen in love with the faith, I have gotten to the point where I barely consume entertainment at all unless it is in a way that benefits a different part of my life, such as orienting myself toward God, keeping me motivated while exercising, or bonding with other people. Even when I do consume entertainment, I tend to be very particular about what kind of messages I am allowing into my life.
Something I have reflected on after watching and reading Hunger Games is the symbolism held within it and the way it compares to the early persecution of Christians under the rule of Nero. But I completely understand not wanting to watch it especially if it is affecting your mental health! It’s important to be cautious of what you bring in! For others I really recommend viewing the stories with the lens of seeing the symbolisms pulled from Christianity!
Secret Life was made during a time (my time in middle and high school) where teen pregnancies were rising. I don't think it was meant to educate on teen pregnancies, but rather to make money off of something that was becoming a thing. Also, they had "Christians" on the show. I personally think that is what upset me about it the most. There was a false representation of what being a Christian is all about and the very few times Catholicism was brought up, it was to make fun of it or same something negative.
There is another show that I regret watching and loved it so much. Shadow Hunters. This show is about a girl who finds out she is a shadow hunter that is supposed to protect the Earth from demons. There is a lot that goes into it like vampires, werewolves, fairies, killing, bringing back to life, demons, literally stepping foot into HELL, sex, and SOOO much more. Stay away form that show you all.
Little late to the party. Curious as to what your thoughts are on something like Breaking Bad or the Sopranos, or even something like the Godfather? Basically mobster movies/tv shows where the protagonist of the story is a bad guy, but there isn't really anything anti religious about it. The topic doesn't come up really.
Thanks so much Amber! This needed to be said. They have taken innocent older cartoons/books and made it into evil horrible messes up series. Nancy drew, riverdale, pretty little liars reboot everything so so messed up! Thanks especially for including jane the virgin!! The minute they said the Holy Eucharist tasted like cardboard or something similar that desecrated Jesus i left it. It was bad and done so well that even Catholics didnt realise what they were being fed! So good to see more ppl realising this. The Holy Spirirt is working in you surely
I just clicked on this video and haven't yet watched it. But I gave it a Like because I love the concept. The League of Decency's Pledge is: "I condemn all indecent and immoral motion pictures, and those which glorify crime or criminals. I promise to do all that I can to strengthen public opinion against the production of indecent and immoral films, and to unite with all who protest against them. I acknowledge my obligation to form a right conscience about pictures that are dangerous to my moral life. I pledge myself to remain away from them. I promise, further, to stay away altogether from places of amusement which show them as a matter of policy."
i love the hunger games so much. and I know that you said it was dark and evil but that was kinda the whole point abt how just like, horrendous it was. the rest I totally agree with
I havnt watched tv in months and i dont miss it one bit. You can do it to or at the very least stop watching the bad shows and watch the good ones. Good luck to you. Amen. 😊
I never watched The Hunger Games, but I read it at age 12 (secretly, because my parents didn't approve). I honestly regret it, not necessarily because of the message, but just because I was reading something so dark at such a young age. I remember a scene in the third book as well where basically Katniss is all for killing children as a revenge and although I think it's supposed to show how much war and trauma can break you down, I just don't vibe with that.
If you want to know what your God thinks about (k ill ing) children and babies, I suggest reading the following Bible verses. Genesis 7: 23 (drowned); 1 Samuel 15: 3 (stabbed); Exodus 11:5 (killed in the night); & Genesis 19: 24-25 (burnt).
Lucifer is one show I believe is seriously dangerous. He's portrayed as this suave misunderstood anti-hero while Michael the Archangel is portrayed as his jealous, creepy, insecure brother... its so wrong. I mean there's one scene where Michael is jealous of Lucifer that he got to rule his own kingdom in hell...
2:39 me too! I love Harry Potter before coming to the Catholic Church, but it went to the point where I would literally study it, constantly talk about it, and love it more then God. I think another pretty bad part was I was also getting into real witchcraft because I wanted to be like the wizards in Harry Potter. So the enemy thought he had me, BUT JESUS SAID I WAS HIIIIIS!!!
When I was in 5th and 6th grade, my sister really liked the show Supernatural. I hated the show. I resented it, and refused to watch it. Yes, some of it was scary, but I hated the occult and Satanic rituals, because i found that stuff scary. I knew what it was, and I knew that people shouldn't play with it.
I stopped watching Riverdale after the whole "gArGoYlE kInG" thingy, it was just ridiculous, my friends who still watch it just do it to laugh about them at this point Lmao
There's another move No Should Watch. Before I was a careful Me and a friend went to a movie theater and what Exercise . That is not a movie that Watching As a careful .
Lucifer is based of a comic by niel gaiman. who himself is very modernist and relativist. it is no surprise that he would portray tye devil as just being misunderstood
Can someone explain to me how the woman she talked about in the Harry potter part, burned her house down based on a spell? I looked it up and based on what I read she tried to make a potion and it contained ingredients like oil and alcohol. This does not really sound like an unnatural case to me and the article I read even states that it was unclear what potion exactly she tried to imitate.
the spels in harry potter are true, Fr. ripperger mentioned it in one of his videos. (see sensus fidellium channel )and the characters are names of the demons.
It’s kind of hard to watch any modern tv or movies all of it is so corrupted now
I didn't know you watched the religious hippie
It’s true
We just watch the news. That is bad enough. And some nature movies (while we try to miss the evolution lies they tell us)
Im so suprised you are here
Wow MVPerry! What are you doing here!?
A trend I see with people getting back into their religion is how much more beautiful they get. I don’t know if it’s because they’re happier or looking after their self more, but their beauty just seems to shine through. You were already beautiful before you got back into Catholicism, but now you look etherial!
Rachel FR THOOOO
Woah did she upload any video of her testimony of why she got out or how she got back? I love to hear and see these kinds of things. Makes me see more of how God actually is very much alive and as He works in the unseen.
you misspelled "ethereal", btw.
clean living, personal responsibility and contentment will do that
Etheriel? Forreal, Rachel? 😀
okay but i think it’s funny that, an example being Lucifer or Jane the Virgin, people think that it’s perfectly fine making fun of or bashing Christianity/Catholicism, but not one person can make a jab at Hinduism or any other religion without facing backlash or getting cancelled. it’s a double-standard and i think that should be called out more often in media
It's an agenda. An anti Christian one cz plenty of demon worshipping witches there in Hollywood. This info is from a testimony of an ex aspiring actress currently a practicing catholic.
Media only shows what people will watch more. It's because Hindus and Muslims will protest vigorously against this shows but not the Christians. They don't want to be cancelled.

Yeah, but we're Christian so it's part of the deal I guess.
We shall be hated as our lord was.
The more that I grow in my Catholic Faith the harder it is for me to watch any of the shows and movies that I used to. Shows that I found funny and entertaining are now cringe fests for me. I attribute this to the Holy Spirit warning me that I am polluting the Spirit and that I should feed it with better material.
One of the sisters who taught at my high school, always told us, that it's okay to watch fantasy as long as you don't play with satanic elements from those shows, books etc. She warned us about ouiji boards, spells etc, even said that you can read horoscopes for fun, but to never believe in them. I feel as long as you understand the rights and wrongs from what you are watching, and be able to tell your children to know the difference between fiction and nonfic, i think some shows are okay. Even with music, I feel like kids these days shouldn't be listening to.
P.S I found you on tik tok and I'm so glad that you are teaching basic Catholicism. As a 25 year old Catholic born and raised, I really appreciate you.
I know what shes saying and i totally get what she means, i just..ehhh still dont think its the best to expose ourselves to it anyways bc kids who are exposed to it could potentially end up believing in it at some point. I appreciate the support 💕💕💕💕💕💕
I am glad that this nun warned you to not do the spells but I wish she had been clear that it’s not okay to expose ourselves to anything demonic. Fr. Gabriel Amorth, was the chief exorcist in Rome, he passed away a few years ago. In his book An Exorcist Tells His Story he clearly says to not get anywhere near evil bc it’s a risk. You give evil an inch and it takes a ruler or worse!
That sister is lukewarm and have one foot in the world and one foot in God. We must run away from nearest occasion of sins.
@@josephtran-day3437 You seem to claim an uncanny ability to see other peoples hearts with 100% accuracy
I’m catholic and I loved Jane the virgin, I watched all 5 seasons and genuinely loved it and I never even thought about the bad reputation it gave to Catholics, it’s crazy that it’s so normalised that even a catholic doesn’t think anything of it but you’re completely right 🌼
Totally, like I said, I really enjoyed it too at one point but once you look at the details its... a bit sketchy. I feel ya tho!
Really late response, but I absolutely loved the first two seasons. It was when they started to normalize maturation even with the faithful abuela that I started to feel icked at the portrayal of Catholics. And I was a relatively anti-Catholic protestant at the time. It's gross to see Christianity hijacked in TV
I got back to my Catholic Faith during the Lockdowns in 2020 and before that I used to be really, really leftist. I even thought I was gay. I watched a lot of LGBT-Friendly shows and movies back in the day, but since I got back into my Faith, I try to monitor what kind of media I consume, because consuming pro-lgbt is what actually made me believe I was gay in the first place. So I try to avoid these as best as possible.
wow, thats so cool Anika, youre an inspiration, keep going.
Wow your testimony is amazing welcome to family.
I too took my Catholic faith during my lockdowns, I was going through depression.
As a rule of thumb, anything on Netflix or Disney is completely subversive.
My daughter, who’s in HS, just recently found u on Instagram ... and I am so glad and blessed she did. My daughter told me one day - “Mom, I found this funny devout young Catholic girl on Instagram!” I checked your different videos & TikTok. Your story of reconversion is similar to mine. I love conversion stories and Catholics on fire. Continue being a light in this world. May God continue to bless u! Trying to watch all your UA-cam videos now. Very good channel! 💖🙏🏼😊
This is one of the reasons I love 1930s-1950s films and TV shows, they were suitable for all, they had the best romance movies without promoting sex or debauchery, they had the best thrillers without promoting violence. Thanks to the hays code, they instilled morals into people and didn't promote debauchery as normal like today. I wish the hays code still existed tbh.
Yes, the old films portrayed sex and debauchery but did not promote them. That’s a big difference right there. Funnily enough this also seemed to benefit the films because it enabled film makers to be subtle and metaphorical 😎 I’m thinking Wells and Hitchcock here
What's the hays code?
The film that broke the code: the pawnbroker. The producers got away with it because the Catholic Church abandoned their own organizations, because of V2, and because it was a Holocaust film with porn snuck in.
@@latinhero1818 What's the hay code though never heard of it
We need a Catholic movie studio to tell beautiful stories. People are now converting to different religions (i.e., Marvel, DC, etc.) via the apt use of cinema. If CINEMA can do that, what if it is used the RIGHT way?
I think it's a wonderful thing that a girl of your age talks to her peers and explains so well what is best to avoid and why, yours is a wonderful initiative, don't stop!
I am a couple of generations older than you but let me say I am thankful to see an intelligent woman of your generation speaking out against the culture and standing up for our beautiful faith. It gives me hope that my young children will not be alone. God bless and keep you.
Thank you so much!
The most important thing we need to do as Christians is to consecrate ourselves and our children to Mary , when we choose Mary to protect our children and ask her to be their guide the devil has no authority over them , he cannot step into that household because satan is not permitted there.
I find all television shows are so anti Catholic. I can’t watch anything anymore as I feel it’s all demonic. Everything is about witches, vampires and demons.
I appreciate your voice to the young people. Born in the 50s I grew up where people took pleasure dressing up beautifully everyday. I grew up watching shows that had morals and characters of values, courtesy. I’ve been home sick for two days with no energy to do much but watch tv, which I rarely do, and I can’t because there is nothing but junk. I appreciate you, Religious Hippie, for share this. Well done. 👍🙏
I feel a great sadness when I now look back on programmes like vampire diaries and lucifer, but not sad for myself but sadness for the actors and the watching public.
God bless
After watching 5 episodes of Sabrina and hearing the other aunt praise satan once again, I had to ask myself: what am I doing?
I didnt like that show when i was a kid.
Love your videos, I’m so glad to see more young people coming to the faith (myself included, I’m 17). I converted around two years ago, got devout over the last year.
In the middle of a TV show or movie, it will dawn on my the dark, dark messages that are being slipped into the story, usually very attractively packaged. Its that moment when you go, "Whoa! Nope, this is getting turned off."
thank you so much for making this video and bringing awareness to shows like this. i always love your content and as a young catholic i always learn so much from you ❤️
Glad i can help!
I think you did one of the most brave things someone can do in his or her life: Admitting that you did errors, that you made something wrong in the past. Going in front of a camera and making a video about satanic stuff you have watched and sharing it with thousands of people. You've earned my greatest respect
Similar to your story, one that I originally loved was Buffy the Vampire Slayer. About the first 3 seasons were pretty good and entertaining; demons were bad guys to be killed by a good (if imperfect) person, compelling characters, funny lines, etc. After that, things went downhill. Demons became 'misunderstood' persons, her friend Willow becomes a witch and goes gay, and even eventually resurrects Buffy from heaven. As if you could bring a person out of heaven with witchcraft... (sigh).
Riverdale: Once you realize these people are portraying kids who are like freshman and sophomore in high school (not college 20-somethings) it just gets more creepy how they act it out. Also Veronica has a Catholic confirmation that is absolutely nothing like an actual Catholic service.
I honestly do not understand why Anime was just thrown on at the end of the list. Anime is not a Tv show or movie, it's a specific art style that developed in Japan, specifically, it is the animation of comics or cartoons known as manga. Since it is an art medium, it has the potential to have good or bad parts to the same extent as any other show. This is not to say that oversexualization of women in particular within the genre does not exist as a historical fact, but not all shows see the need to include that as a trope in their shows or films. There are many anime films that are wholesome, for example many movies produced by Studio Ghibli. I recently watched the movie Princess Mononoke with a group of friends to discuss the strong themes underlying the film about the roles of men and women, man's relationship to nature, and different conceptions of good and evil. Other animated series such as Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Avatar the Last Airbender, SpyXFamily etc, promote values and virtues that are compatible with Catholic philosophy. I belive that anime has a lot to offer as an artistic medium, and I've watched a lot of shows that discuss deep questions common to the human expirience, such as the fruitlessness of revenge, the importance of family, weather true pacifism is possible in a fallen world, etc. I am honestly disappointed to find this genre dismissed in such a superficial way, as a Catholic and a philosopher I think that before recommending something on the "do not watch list" you should put forth solid reasons. I enjoyed this video, and I agreed with a lot of the shows she took the time to discuss, but please don't just list 20 at the end and include a WHOLE ART GENRE without at least doing a quick google.
Totally agree with you. I got rid of my TV years ago and never looked back. Its a very rare event for me to go out and see a Hollywood film. ( I dont mind old black and white films pre 1960s , especially films about faith and religion, or Christian History/ Biblical movies etc ) These days I watch way to much Catholic UA-cam videos )))). Totally addictive .... and maybe some music or historical programs ... that's all I need. The rest of my day is very full ... Bible reading, ethics, apologetics, prayer, more Bible reading.....
I might be agnostic, but I still know this stuff isn't a joke. Even though I'm not religious, I still try to stick to light-hearted shows, historical dramas, Korean dramas, or documentaries (or shows like House Hunters, gotta love House Hunters lol). I still hear all the time "but I thought you weren't religious, why don't you want to watch it?" for shows like Lucifer, Twilight, Supernatural, and horror movies in general. Even shows like Real Housewives or Selling Sunset are personally off-limits because I feel like the last thing we need right now is glorifying rich people for wasting money on materialistic lifestyles.
Spirituality aside, people wonder why more and more teens and young adults have more mental health issues (myself included) when, just look, the majority of shows created for them are suuuper dark and depressing.
Protestsntism is another man made not 100 % true religion like Islam
We stopped watching the same exact shows! All of a sudden I started losing interest even though I was obsessed with SuperNatural. This is how I know God was helping me stay away from things that would push me away from him. Praise God
I was also so obsessed with Supernatural when I was younger. Now that I’m Catholic, I will never watch it again.
I was always obsessed with the show s
Mob wives
WWE shows
Queen of the south
But then i stoped watching it. Its satanic.
Come on guys, Sam and Dean were the best. There's nothing wrong with watching TV shows as long as it doesn't change your view on God
@daliamcmahon5884 I'm glad I don't have that mentality because I'd literally not be able to watch anything.
Growing up in the 80’s & 90’s I was an avid reader of the Archie/Betty & Veronica comics. When I saw a show based on Sabrina the Teenage Witch was coming out with Kiernan Shipka who I loved on Mad Men as the lead I was excited to watch it. However I was quickly put off by the incredibly dark & demonic subject matter. As an adult I can watch this & know better but I thought about all the young ppl watching this & being influenced to get involved with the occult. Scary stuff indeed
The actress who played Sabrina partook the Christian film God is not dead.
“Coffee is liquid duct tape” 😂
Wow.
This struck home.
Oh Grandpa. Grandma. My generation has failed you.
I agree. We did fail our ancestors. Smh.
I know that this is ABSOLUTELY unrelated to the video but your skin is so clear and pretty!
Thank you so much 🙂
ok off topic, but your skin is so clear!
"he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the Lord" Exodus 34:29
Because she full of the lord
I watched a lot of Harry Potter but my mom always made sure to say that this was all fantasy and that we should not practice the witchcraft in it
My dad did the same when he first gave me the books. Personally I love them in many levels, and I don't see the problem with the magic in the books since wizards in Harry Potter aren't normal people. Technically we're all muggles and incapable to perform proper magic, according to the Harry Potter world. I did get afraid for a while becauae I heard it was bad, but then I started seeing that there were even Christian topics that I could more easily understand thanks to the books. It's no surprise, since the author was also influenced by Christian authors. Whether she did it on purpose or not, she did add a lot of the Christian sentiment, and it's a shame that deviant groups started using the series as their thing.
The magic stuff is the context and it's clear that it's a different nature from ours. The real themes are inside. But yeah, some people do stick to the outer layer and try to perform real magic, which is very very bad, and just like my dad warned me before giving me the books, maybe the books should come with a precaution note reminding that it's all fiction. (Although I think it is clear from the story itself)
I agree with so many of these. I would also add "Gossip Girl" and "Pretty Little Liars" to the list. That said, I do have a question: you said all witchcraft is bad witchcraft. Don't get me wrong, I do agree. And I mostly agree with your sentiments on Harry Potter (not to mention that it promotes LGBTQ retroactively). However, what are your thoughts on J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings?" It has a lot of magic in it, but it's written by a devout Catholic and in many ways meant to be a Catholic work of literature! Would love to hear your thoughts! :)
I actually did a video comparing LOTR and HP awhie back, if you scroll thru my video's its an easy find :) but no there is no such thing as good witchcraft or white witches, it is all demonic
There is magic but for example Gandalf is not portrayed as a wizard in the way that Dumbledore is for example. Rather, Gandalf's magic comes from above through his service to the Secret Fire of Eru Ilúvatar (the One God ;) )
Good girl!! Thank you for your honesty and faithfulness to the teachings of the Catholic Church. Keep repeating until your blue ... you never know who is listening. It really does impact us in many ways. I love that you began with Matthew 6:22 from the DR.
Thanks for making this series of videos. I used to watch a few of those shows, mainly Riverdale and the first episode of Nancy Drew. You are absolutely right that these shows are HORRIBLE! Sex, Drugs, Revenge, Paranormal demonic activity, I could go on. Luckily I got off the CW Teen Drama band wagon years ago so I don't watch all that bad stuff now. It's sad that there are still some people that take pleasure from these shows.
When I was younger I was obsessed with scary movies and books. Now that I’m older I cannot watch movies, tv shows or books pertaining to demonic things.
Supernatural season 1 though when it started it was all just about two brothers traveling the country taking on monsters from American folk legends then it just started descending into the downward spiral of so many things that the network coulf put together just to keep the show running 👌🏻👌🏻
Yeah, they really jumped the shark on that one.
After is even worse people glorify the fact Hardin slept with tessa for a dare and used her innocence mark bloody sheets and showed them to his frat gang and they still got back together which is disgusting and people ship them
Riverdale is just so so awful! I can’t believe I sat through watching the first 2 seasons waste of time! And Sabrina yikes
The funny thing , I've heard less religious people complain about the same shows that you talk about , saying that it's immature and doesn't make sense...and I realize you're right. It's marketed towards teenagers , and that's whats wrong with it. Market it to some middle aged or millennial liberal , but not to teenagers. Even Netflix's UA-cam page keeps on leaking on everybody's recommended. Because they pay youtube. And it's wrong really.
Game of thrones. Mostly because of the decline in quality of the writing and because of the gigantic ripoff of an ending, and they threw so much sexposition and porn at us in between.
Yeah, it was basically porn with some story thrown in. It had such potential but it was horrible.
As a mama, I can NOT watch horror movies anymore. NOPE. I hated the one annabelle where the demon made the mom think she threw her baby out. I will not watch any possession movies anymore and I can not stand movies where babies get hurt. It makes me cry, I have nightmares for days, I'm just overall affected. I wish more people would put out Christian movies. I grew up watching Pollyanna, I love Fatima, The Mission, Silence, there's one i can't remember where a priest builds boysville, the Chosen is great too!
I'm surprised you didn't say the Vampire Diaries, i regret watching that show alott
I actually enjoy watching the elena scenes, it can help people going through a touch time like her, she is basically depressed but for some reason isn't in therapy...but it's kinda healing seeing her heal in some ways throughout the show...if I watch it I skip around...I wish it was just about her and without vampires
Friends. They way they objectify women and glorify porn is terrible. How did i never see that?! And the strange thing is they are carrying Friends merchandise in the toy shops now including Lego!
I am Returning Catholic. I am careful what I want . I make sure there's no cuss words. Make sure there's no nudely . I used to watch horror movies. I don't do that anymore. That type of movie Scares Cannot sleep. I'm 66 . I'm a practice Catholic. I try to do the right things . Jesus Christ, We are in the world, but not of it.
One of the shows I would add to shows I regret watching when I was away from Catholicism is Stranger Things. It is VERY dark and messed with me mentally and spiritually. Would not recommend any Catholic watch that.
I think you were right to put ‘Jane the Virgin’ in your list. I regret watching that show
I'm a Baptist and live in Johannesburg, South Africa (originally from Cameroon,W.Africa) and I've watched some movies I regret watching too including "Mother" and "Siren". Gld I never got around to watching "Fifty Shades of Grey". The "Wrong Turn" movies too are pretty gruesome. Stopped watching porn nearly 2 years ago.
Cameroon is central Africa..
Porn is lucifers teaching so I’m so proud of you to quit keep up the good work Jesus is always watching
I’m pretty sure the lady who burned down her house casting the Harry Potter spell lived in Spain
I do agree with you about Hunger Games though! I (unfortunately) watched it at a young age and was scared to death of it.
She burned down her house because she mixed alcohol and other flammable stuff in a pot. Not magic.
I found Lucifer to be hilarious and also prompted me to examine Christianity again, and I’m now on my way to becoming Catholic. So it’s done some good. Of course it’s nothing like reality, except in one way. Fr Dan Rehil once encountered Satan, in a Miami beach bar, being exactly like lucifer from the series. He’s also done a fascinating interview with Michael Knowles, which is well worth watching. FR Rehil gained notoriety for banning Harry Potter from a school library and is an exorcist. Bit of a career change as he was a Wall St banker for 20 years prior to taking orders.
I was obsessed with Supernatural and will never watch it again. I feel bad I watched it with my kids. They love Charmed because of it but I’m gonna have to stop them.
my kids sometimes ask me if certain shows/movies/songs are appropriate for children. in some cases i have to tell them that no, it isn't, and it frankly isn't appropriate for adults either!
I regret making my favorite movie genre horror while working at the movies.
Alright, I understand most of those. Harry Potter, though, is too far....you can watch something without endorsing what it portrays! Yeah there's witchcraft portrayed, but it's being shown to convey a message that's acutally quite uplifting. Many aspects of it are inspired by or at least related to Christianity, and I think you can see that in the storyline - I've heard of professors at Christian schools writing theses on how the Gospel is told by ideology portrayed by HP! No disrespect to you, though I think this is going a bit far. In any case though, act in accord with what God has convicted you of!
I watched the first few seasons of Lucifer during my kinda agnostic towards the existence of God. I don't think it did any lasting damage as shortly after I started getting into Matt Frad's podcast Pints with Aquinas (highly recommend) but it helped to show me the evil Netflix was permitting and promoting and was definitely the straw that broke the camel's back and led me to stop watching Netflix all together.
Great to hear this stuff! You go girl !!!
Vampire Diaries, The Craft, Practical Magic, and Wandavision for all it's witchcraft, and Station 19 and Grays Anatomy for all it's sexual content, plus non binary indoctrination, and teaching that children being trans should be normalized.
I agree with Sabrina. But I love HP and always will. I also love supernatural. I’m a devout Catholic. But I can still enjoy these things. As long as you teach it’s not real and just fantasy.
Neither are okay, favoring one does not change the spiritual aspect of it. Both are not good to be watching, I cannot control what you do but praying about it would be beneficial. God bless
I regret watching the following TV shows: Sabrina the teenage witch, the 1996 TV series with Melissa Joan Hart; Buffy the Vampire Slayer; Charmed- the oringinal with Shannon Doughtery, et al. I'm now strong in my faith, especially after making my Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary. A few years after my Total Consecration, it started to make sense to veil.
I regret watching MANY MANY movies. I won't point them out because they are too many, but I want to say that ¡it is very difficult to purify your mind after watching those things! It is not easy, and if you don't make the exercise you will probably never have a pure mind again. I am currently working on that, and still am afraid that if I get a boyfriend right now I won't be able to have a saint relationship.
But I trust Jesus and his Holy Mother to protect me, and turn away all the impurity that youtube, instagram, movies and tv shows brought into me.
I saw some of the Sabrina show before my reversion, and it really creeped me out too. Definitely not an innocent tv show.
Hey just wonder if you should confess things like these when in confession? Im not catholic, but deeply considering converting. Trying to learn as much as possible. Thanks❤️
You have to go thru RCIA before you can go to confession, which im sure you know, but yes if you watched something impure you can state so in a confession
I’m curious to see why someone put the office. I’m not looking for an argument or anything, but it’s one of my favorite shows, one I’ve watched many times, and I don’t recall anything explicitly anti catholic. American Horror Story might be another one. I really enjoy it, but there are certainly some anti catholic elements in certain episodes. I haven’t seen unpregnant yet, so I won’t judge it, but from what I’ve seen, it seems like it glorifies abortion, and that’s terrible.
I don't think the Office is explicitly anti-Catholic, but it is very immoral. I believe Angela is supposed to be Catholic and has pre-marital sex, so that shows some anti-Catholisism.
The craft, practical magic, charmed, ghost whisperer, also.
Pretty much any show/series on hbo is going to have immoral content
I remember trying Secret Life of the American Teenager because it's from the same creators of 7th Heaven, which is such a wonderful show, and then being so disappointed by Secret Life. Secret Life tried to be a PSA for not having sex before marriage, but I think they kind of forgot their message as it went along and turned into a soap opera for teenagers.
I really regret being obsessed with Insane Clown Posse, horror movies, mainly Rob Zombie, and Jay and Silent Bob. I remember a while back seeing the trailers for Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back Reboot and my friends were surprised that I have absolutely no interest anymore.
The only show mentioned here that I've heard of is Supernatural. I never got into that show but I really liked the Impala.
As for Harry Potter I think that you shouldn’t mention the woman who burnt her house down she tried to make a “potion” with oil alcohol and toothbrush containing two highly flammable ingredients so I don’t think it’s proof Harry Potter is evil. It might even make us look a bit silly to say it’s evil in my opinion, but I respect the opinion. I have heard from priests and the Vatican that it is not bad but priests and the Vatican can be wrong and priests will also say the opposite thing about Harry Potter.
Before I became a devoute catholic, i watch the entire series of Jane the virgin with my mother, sister. We loved it for what it was especially at that time we related to Jane, for being (lukewarm) catholic and this whole guilt trip which is an actual thing for latino community. However, after becoming a devout catholic, i thought to rewatch a few scenes of the series out of curiousity and now i can't even think of watching it. There a whole of disrespect and oblivion to Jane's family, especially grandma, which she tried following the "rules" but never really questioned why in the first place....
Anyway thank you for your video! loved it!
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina was so bad... so bad... I regret watching that show.
Pro tip: Before watching a movie/tv show,check for the director's wikipedia page,more accuratelly, the early life section!
Who would you recommend?
@@anthony1776diaz Someone you can check their early life section.
I feel the same about supernatural I dont really know why I liked it so much.
I really regret watching the Ricky and Morty and Big Mouth, they're so immoral and anti good values.
Agreeed with supernatural. I tried watching it then when they started protraying God as a bad guy I stopped watching it.
Hi! Have you watched Jonathan Pageau's videos on symbolism? He is Orthodox. He made a video about Lil Naz X's video. The thing is, I believe one should avoid the specificity of evil (the how-to's and lore surrounding in-show witchcraft) to avoid getting tangled up in it, but sometimes it's inevitable. The enemy wasn't fully sketched out when Christianity began, yet by the time of Dante we have a literal map of hell as part of Christian understanding. On the other hand monsters and "satanic" themes can be used in service of a an important message, like that evil doesn't get the last word. So if you are not too nerdy and don't get invested in a show's lore (like when my parents used to mix up pokémon's name to my dismay) but can take in the good morals (that there is a St. George to every dragon, as Chesterton put it) you can make it worthwhile. For instance, I have a friend that isn't a fully-fully-practicing, life-investing Catholic, but from all she knows about ouija board from the horror movies she enjoys watching, she has set on her mind that she won't let her children sit remotely close to a ouija board on her watch.
As a fellow Catholic, I wouldn't suggest taking Dante's description of hell literally. It's just his own creation. Read the lives of the saints for more accurate descriptions of hell
Before I became a Christian, I lived a very hedonistic life and would habitually consume entertainment (video games, movies, television, etc) at least 5 hours per day. Sometimes upwards of 16 hours per day on days that I didn't have school/work. I thought absolutely nothing of it.
When I first became a Christian through nondenominational/Protestant churches, I still continued to live hedonistically, because "As long as I believe in Jesus, that's what matters. I don't need to live differently."
Now that I have become Catholic and fallen in love with the faith, I have gotten to the point where I barely consume entertainment at all unless it is in a way that benefits a different part of my life, such as orienting myself toward God, keeping me motivated while exercising, or bonding with other people. Even when I do consume entertainment, I tend to be very particular about what kind of messages I am allowing into my life.
wow! How demonic has television gotten!
I agree. Do you remember the show Buffy the vampire slayer?? That show was demonic.
Please do add Unpregnant too...
Anyways great video❤️ ..God bless 🙏
Ah yes, that one is terrible too. Like I said there are soooo many bad films out there its impossible to say them all but I def agree
Agree.
Something I have reflected on after watching and reading Hunger Games is the symbolism held within it and the way it compares to the early persecution of Christians under the rule of Nero. But I completely understand not wanting to watch it especially if it is affecting your mental health! It’s important to be cautious of what you bring in! For others I really recommend viewing the stories with the lens of seeing the symbolisms pulled from Christianity!
Never thought o at it from that perspective its pretty neat but as a teenager who knew nothing about Nero, its pretty...scary
Secret Life was made during a time (my time in middle and high school) where teen pregnancies were rising. I don't think it was meant to educate on teen pregnancies, but rather to make money off of something that was becoming a thing. Also, they had "Christians" on the show. I personally think that is what upset me about it the most. There was a false representation of what being a Christian is all about and the very few times Catholicism was brought up, it was to make fun of it or same something negative.
There is another show that I regret watching and loved it so much. Shadow Hunters. This show is about a girl who finds out she is a shadow hunter that is supposed to protect the Earth from demons. There is a lot that goes into it like vampires, werewolves, fairies, killing, bringing back to life, demons, literally stepping foot into HELL, sex, and SOOO much more. Stay away form that show you all.
Little late to the party. Curious as to what your thoughts are on something like Breaking Bad or the Sopranos, or even something like the Godfather? Basically mobster movies/tv shows where the protagonist of the story is a bad guy, but there isn't really anything anti religious about it. The topic doesn't come up really.
Thanks so much Amber! This needed to be said. They have taken innocent older cartoons/books and made it into evil horrible messes up series. Nancy drew, riverdale, pretty little liars reboot everything so so messed up!
Thanks especially for including jane the virgin!! The minute they said the Holy Eucharist tasted like cardboard or something similar that desecrated Jesus i left it. It was bad and done so well that even Catholics didnt realise what they were being fed!
So good to see more ppl realising this. The Holy Spirirt is working in you surely
I feel so disgusted that my family and I actually watched this rubbish 😭🙏
Suprised family guy wasn't isn't this list
Family Guy has its own special list in my house. It’s not a good list.
I just clicked on this video and haven't yet watched it. But I gave it a Like because I love the concept. The League of Decency's Pledge is:
"I condemn all indecent and immoral motion pictures, and those which glorify crime or criminals. I promise to do all that I can to strengthen public opinion against the production of indecent and immoral films, and to unite with all who protest against them. I acknowledge my obligation to form a right conscience about pictures that are dangerous to my moral life. I pledge myself to remain away from them. I promise, further, to stay away altogether from places of amusement which show them as a matter of policy."
i love the hunger games so much. and I know that you said it was dark and evil but that was kinda the whole point abt how just like, horrendous it was. the rest I totally agree with
I havnt watched tv in months and i dont miss it one bit. You can do it to or at the very least stop watching the bad shows and watch the good ones. Good luck to you. Amen. 😊
I never watched The Hunger Games, but I read it at age 12 (secretly, because my parents didn't approve). I honestly regret it, not necessarily because of the message, but just because I was reading something so dark at such a young age. I remember a scene in the third book as well where basically Katniss is all for killing children as a revenge and although I think it's supposed to show how much war and trauma can break you down, I just don't vibe with that.
If you want to know what your God thinks about (k ill ing) children and babies, I suggest reading the following Bible verses.
Genesis 7: 23 (drowned);
1 Samuel 15: 3 (stabbed);
Exodus 11:5 (killed in the night);
& Genesis 19: 24-25 (burnt).
Is “ To All The Boys I Loved Before” bad or good ???
I didnt like it just because it was cheesy and not my style
I think the books are awesome! The last movie deviates from the book in a really disappointing way though.
Lucifer is one show I believe is seriously dangerous.
He's portrayed as this suave misunderstood anti-hero while Michael the Archangel is portrayed as his jealous, creepy, insecure brother... its so wrong.
I mean there's one scene where Michael is jealous of Lucifer that he got to rule his own kingdom in hell...
2:39 me too! I love Harry Potter before coming to the Catholic Church, but it went to the point where I would literally study it, constantly talk about it, and love it more then God. I think another pretty bad part was I was also getting into real witchcraft because I wanted to be like the wizards in Harry Potter. So the enemy thought he had me, BUT JESUS SAID I WAS HIIIIIS!!!
When I was in 5th and 6th grade, my sister really liked the show Supernatural. I hated the show. I resented it, and refused to watch it. Yes, some of it was scary, but I hated the occult and Satanic rituals, because i found that stuff scary. I knew what it was, and I knew that people shouldn't play with it.
I stopped watching Riverdale after the whole "gArGoYlE kInG" thingy, it was just ridiculous, my friends who still watch it just do it to laugh about them at this point Lmao
There's another move No Should Watch. Before I was a careful Me and a friend went to a movie theater and what Exercise . That is not a movie that Watching As a careful .
found your channel just couple days ago and im obsessed ❤
Riverdale doesn't even sound good, like, a bad tv show. Not just inappropriate, but just bad
Lucifer is based of a comic by niel gaiman. who himself is very modernist and relativist. it is no surprise that he would portray tye devil as just being misunderstood
Can someone explain to me how the woman she talked about in the Harry potter part, burned her house down based on a spell? I looked it up and based on what I read she tried to make a potion and it contained ingredients like oil and alcohol. This does not really sound like an unnatural case to me and the article I read even states that it was unclear what potion exactly she tried to imitate.
Yeah she basically made a bomb.
the spels in harry potter are true, Fr. ripperger mentioned it in one of his videos. (see sensus fidellium channel )and the characters are names of the demons.
Thank you for this video! I can't stand any of what you have listed and it saddens me that my husband is a lucifer fan :(
It’s sad that the best tv shows are inappropriate. I wish they had versions of them that edit out nudity and f bombs.
