YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMidnight Mass on Netflix depicts the corruption of a small town’s faith, from lukewarm Catholicism to fanaticism. With the exception of its use of *literal* plagues and monsters, this series represents Christian radicalization frighteningly well. Writer and director Mike Flanagan’s commentary on the utility of religious faith echoes what many former believers, like myself, have learned in our experiences with religious radicalization.
Vi La Bianca and I review this series from that perspective. From Riley’s atheism, to Monsignor Pruitt’s corruption of faith, to Bev Keane’s dogmatism, this show plays like an episode from our pasts as former Christian fundamentalists.
