Any time you see Christianity displayed onscreen, there's a strong chance it'll feature exclusively or almost-exclusively Catholic trappings, such as rosaries, the Sign of the Cross, confessional booths, nuns, clerics referred to as "Father", and so on. It could be because Roman Catholicism is the largest and oldest branch of Christianity in the world, or it might be because the vestments of Roman Catholic clerics are so quaint and distinctive, or perhaps it's the fascination of the mystery and ritual, or maybe it's our bewilderment at priests, monks, and nuns taking a vow of celibacy, or that those ornate and massive Catholic churches make the most awesome sets, or the usefulness of the sacrament of confession as a narrative device, or that the world-wide geographical and historical reaches of Catholicism as an organization help to extend the narrative settings or maybe it's just that it's downright absurd to associate rural Midwestern Lutherans, for instance, with Ominous Latin Chanting and Gothic aesthetics. It also may well be that Catholicism is simply a more visible form of Christianity in the bicoastal urban milieux in which most writers work. Or that many writers hail from predominantly Catholic regions like Ireland, Latin America, Poland, the Philippines, Italy, France, Spain, or New York City.note between Irish, Latinos, Filipinos, Italians, and other ethnicities from Catholic regions, roughly a third of the city's population is Catholic, whereas the next-biggest single Christian denomination accounts for less than 2%.. Not to mention that a considerable number of writers are themselves Catholic (or were raised that way at least), and may just find it easier to write what they know. This trope can be a self-reinforcing feedback loop, since writers who are not Christian might only be familiar with Christian practices through Pop-Cultural Osmosis. Whatever the reason, if there's a form of Christianity that exemplifies the Rule of Cool in fiction, it's Catholicism. Protestant denominations might occasionally appear, but don’t expect the Eastern Orthodox Church (which can be just as cool, though not as many people know that) to make an appearance, and don’t expect the Oriental Orthodox Church or the Assyrian Church of the East to even be mentioned. Catholics will even have their own military. It's not always a positive portrayal, mind you. If there's a big, Corrupt Church that has the power to subjugate kings and governments to its will, crush rebellious proletarians, and burn heretics alive, it'll probably be Catholic and use Medieval Catholic imagery and hierarchy (especially that of The Spanish Inquisition). Particularly in Anime, the Catholic Church is often more of a global superpower and MegaCorp than a mere religious institution. A corrupt Protestant church, by contrast, will usually be engaged in small-time villainy, such as petty racism, ignorance, or cons after their congregation's money. This is largely because Protestant churches have far more local autonomy than exists in Catholicism, and thus no particular church would have the worldwide infrastructure to make world domination seem plausible. But to an unlikely extent, even the lowest-church Protestant ministers in media can often be found sporting clerical collars, crossing themselves, or exhibiting other Catholic signifiers unknown to such denominations in real life. In Fantasy settings, the Crystal Dragon Jesus religion will usually have distinctively Catholic aesthetics. Japanese attempts to portray western supernatural beliefs tend to converge on this trope too; see Nuns Are Mikos and Anime Catholicism. Worldwide, over half of Christianity is Catholic (about 1.2 billion out of 2.2 billion as of 2013). Also, most countries with a Christian majority have a Catholic majority. In the United States, where Protestant churches are in the majority, they are so fractured that the Catholic Church is the single largest denomination. Yet because of this Protestant majority, plus the many waves of immigrants from Catholic regions, Catholicism has often been seen as foreign, exotic, and strange... and not always benevolent. As a result of this, Hollywood Catholicism is often very far removed from the real religion. In much fiction, despite the portrayal of Christians as Catholics, most Bible quotations will be from the King James Version, a Protestant translation.note In fact, many Catholics seem to think that the King James Bible is the only Bible used by Protestants, or that more recent translations are still written in archaic language (which they aren't). Everything just sounds way more "biblical" with thees and thous (although Catholics have the Douay-Rheims, an English translation which came out at about the same time). Still, the King James renderings are much more familiar in a highly "Protestant-by-default" culture. Psalm 23, for example, is usually rendered the "KJV way" ("The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.") even among English-speaking Catholics.note The Douay rendering is "The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing." Also, a different division of chapters makes it the twenty-second psalm. The even more traditional Vulgate Bible will almost never be quoted, although it can happen because it's written in Latin. This trope doesn't seem to apply to westerns, where any minister (or "preacher") will generally be portrayed as a black-coated Evangelical Lutheran or Methodist type, when he isn't a Quaker or a Mormon. However, if the film shows the padre of a Mexican village, this trope will be played straight — although frankly this was usually true. It may also appear as part of an Establishing Shot for other traditionally Catholic places such as Italy or France. African-American churches will almost always be depicted as Baptist, Methodist, or Pentecostal, as will white Southern churches (with the one major exception being New Orleans, due to the influence France had on it). Meanwhile, the upper-class White Anglo-Saxon Protestant — usually residing in the tonier precincts of Hollywood New England and belonging to one of the more venerable "mainline" denominations such as the Episcopal Church, which shares much of Catholicism's liturgy, equipment and decornote Episcopalians have long been a popular choice for writers wishing to show Catholic-style aesthetics without the strict doctrinal and lifestyle requirements, or "Catholic Lite" as Robin Williams (himself an Episcopalian) once called it. — is a stock character of long standing. This can also apply to beliefs — expect to see many Christians mention Purgatory, original sin, the seven deadly sins and excommunication, even though these doctrines are not held by many Protestant sects. However, one belief that gets a lot of attention from the entertainment media, namely, the pre-tribulation Rapture, is not a Catholic belief. Instead, a vocal minority of Protestants holds it. It can fit well with the Rule of Funny and the Rule of Drama. Expect, too, to see crucifixes displayed in Protestant churches and homes. In real life, many Protestants object to the crucifix because they consider it to be idolatrous and to suggest that Jesus did not triumph over the Cross. See also Religious Stereotype and Church of Saint Genericus. A character who is Ambiguously Christian is almost always either a Catholic or a Protestant of The Fundamentalist variety. Note that this trope doesn't apply to all countries. Outside the U.S., Protestant countries tend to assume Protestantism. The English default is, naturally, the Church of England — which can variously be depicted as "Anglo-Catholic" (High Church), "Mainline Protestant" (Broad Church), or "Evangelical Protestant" (Low Church). In Scotland, there is the Presbyterian "Kirk". In Wales, there is the Anglican Church in Wales and large numbers of Methodists, while Northern Ireland is divided between Anglican Church of Ireland, Presbyterians and Catholics. The Russian default is the Orthodox Church.note Which, despite being the largest single non-Catholic denomination, has somehow not been mentioned more than once in this introduction before here. Variants exist for non-Christian religions, too: "Judaism Is Orthodox-Ashkenazi" (long hair, beards, Hebrew and Yiddish accents) or its opposite extreme, "Judaism Is Secularized" (often to the point of Informed Judaism), and "Buddhism Is Mahayana" (fat, smiling statues and koans that may or may not be be ice cream). |

Michael Dorris' A Yellow Raft in Blue Water seems to have nobody of the Christian faith except Catholics in all three stories. A Catholic missions church is on the reservation, run by Father Hurlburt with Father Tom Novak as a youth pastor understudy, who turns out to be a creepy priest that likes to molest young teenage girls, as Rayona found out. Ida and her aunt Clara are sent to a Catholic motherhouse in Colorado so Clara could have her baby (whom she eventually gives up to Ida) without anybody else on the reservation knowing about it. Rayona herself runs into Catholics both in the Seattle area and in Montana. Evelyn's former first husband was a Catholic, who was basically scared of his own crap, according to Evelyn. | |

Even after Stabler's departure from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, there is a large Catholic presence on the show. Stabler is replaced by Nick Amaro, who is Cuban American and raised Catholic, later joined by ADA Rafael Barba, who has a similar background and mentions his days at Catholic School, though how observant they are at present is up for debate. Sonny Carisi, who joins a few years after Barba and Amaro, is a fairly devout Catholic. Even Amanda Rollins appears to be Catholic, although not as overtly. She has her younger daughter baptized in a Catholic church with a Catholic-esque ceremony, and has Carisi and Olivia named as godparents. Fans pointed out this makes little sense for her character, as Amanda is from Georgia, where the overwhelming majority of Christians are either Baptist or Methodist and Catholicism is uncommon. |

In the Dragon Age games, the Chantry of Andraste is heavily based on Catholicism, with the primary differences being that the Christ-figure is The Maker's bride rather than His son, and the priesthood is composed of women while men serve in the military and bureaucracy. Endorsing a new Divine (read: Pope) is a plot point in Dragon Age: Inquisition, and the neighboring Tevinter Imperium even has its own denomination that largely mirrors the Eastern Orthodox Church in its rivalry with "that other one." | |

Hunter: The Vigil also takes a stab at it, with three different Christianity-based compacts/conspiracies: the Malleus Maleficarum, who are Catholic; the Order of St. George, who are Anglican; and the Long Night, who are fundamentalist Protestants. The Malleus Maleficarum and the Order of St. George aren't on the best of terms, and while the Long Night will work with the Malleus when the chips are down, most of them view the Malleus as agents of "the Great Whore of Babylon," the Roman Catholic Church. | |

Ca. 1980 Nightcrawler of X-Men started being written as a devout Catholic, an aspect of his characterization that was carried over into X2. In Uncanny X-Men (Chuck Austen), there's a particularly headache-inducing example when it turns out that Nightcrawler's religious education was an illusion created by an extremist group to destroy the Catholic Church by installing Nightcrawler as Pope, short circuiting his image inducer and painting him as the Antichrist, and using matter-disintegrating Communion wafers to simulate the Rapture (which real-life Catholics don't believe in anyway). | |

The 2008 adaptation of Brideshead Revisited is a strange subversion of this trope. The director stated in several interviews that he had a problem with all organized religion, but further remarks indicated that what he meant by that was actually the more evangelical strains of Christianity. In the film, the main family portrayed is very Catholic — as Evelyn Waugh, author of the novel the movie was loosely based upon, made them — but their actions and beliefs as portrayed in the movie (not the novel) are not Catholic — they're evangelical Christian. Given the themes of the book, it's safe to say that this is a good example of missing the point. | |

In Gilmore Girls the Kims are defined as Seventh Day Adventists, but there are crucifixes around the house. Reverend Archie Skinner is only ever referred to as a reverend- usually a Protestant title- but dresses in the same attire as a Catholic priest would and has a crucifix in his church. Based on this, he'd likely be called Father Skinner instead, rather than Reverend. |

Thoroughly averted in A Certain Magical Index. The Roman Catholics are the most powerful Christian organization, but there are numerous other powerful ones such as the British Puritans, the Russian Orthodox and even smaller groups like the Amakusa Catholics (Japanese Christian sect) who are not recognized by the Roman Catholics. And then they take that, duct tape on some Rule of Cool, magic and crazed zealots, and run with it. | |

Likewise, Booth, the token Christian on Bones, is Catholic, and holds a deep-seated dread of nuns. Somewhat justified in that the actor, David Boreanaz, actually is Catholic, and was raised Catholic and went to Catholic schools. Also justified in Nuns Are Spooky. Dr. Daniel Goodman, Brennan's boss in season one (played by Jonathan Adams) was not only Baptist, but a deacon in his church. In the same episode, Hodgins said that while he believes religion is a vast conspiracy, he still believes in an at least a nominally Judeo-Christian-ish deity. And Zack said that like Brennan, he was an atheist-unless his mom asked, in which case he was Lutheran. |

Reign averts this, and how, as a big center of the conflict of the final two seasons is that Mary is a devout Catholic, and Elizabeth is a Protestant, fueling the fire to the tense relationship between Scotland and England, with many of the clans of Scotland supporting Elizabeth's claim to Scotland's throne due to them also turning to Protestant Christianity. In turn Mary makes it clear, she isn't a Catholic Queen, but a Scottish Queen. She has no problem with the way her subjects worship God, and will never deny them their right to their own beliefs, nor will anyone ever tell her how she will practice her faith, and attempts to unite them under a nation, not a religion. | |

Disney films love this trope. Of course, since so many Disney films are adaptations of fairy tales that predate the Reformation, it's not as if there's much of a choice. The Hunchback of Notre Dame is justified, as the whole movie takes place in Notre Dame, and everyone knows that it is a Catholic church. Three characters in Robin Hood (1973) are religious figures: Friar Tuck, a Church Mouse, and the mouse's wife, "Little Sister." They are shown taking care of a Catholic church; Friar Tuck rings the bells and the Church Mouse plays the organ. Appropriate for the time, as the events take place long before the Church of England split from the Catholic Church. The last segment of Fantasia is called Ave Maria. This hymn is also played. Sleeping Beauty's background is inspired from Medieval Catholic art. In Pinocchio, the fairy who brings the puppet to life is often interpreted as a Mother Mary figure. The live-action film, The Littlest Outlaw features a sympathetic priest, and several sequences take place around the Catholic Church. Odd example in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Catholic Spanish see the supernatural oddity throughout the films from a very Christian/Catholic viewpoint. The English (who, at least correctly here, aren't Catholic, except possibly Gibbs) don't seem to have any religion at all — as far as they're concerned it's just a law and order issue. This is probably due to the two stereotypes of Spaniards being ignorant and superstitious and Catholicism being much more high-profile aesthetically than Protestantism. However, the Anglican Church is implied to be around, as in Curse of the Black Pearl Jack is mentioned as having "impersonated a cleric of the Church of England." |

Subverted in Copper, which is set in 1860's New York. The main character is an Irish-American police officer, but it's made very clear that Catholics are a semi-persecuted minority in New York at this time, and the majority of people in the city, particularly the rich and powerful, are Protestant. | |

Honor Harrington: Averted. The Grayson state church is very much Protestant. They go far enough from mainstream theology over a thousand years that they are a kind of Space Mormons. While the Queen of Manticore is 2nd Reformation Catholic, Honor herself is Protestant of a variety that may have been inspired from the author's own. However, many other faiths are shown to exist, including Jewish members. Interfaith issues are given quite a bit of time in At All Costs. Especially the marriage issues for faiths with polygamy and those without it.note While the 2nd Reformation Catholic church does allow polygamy, the married couple in question chose to wed monogamously, meaning they have to modify their wedding vows. |

Zig-zagged in The Simpsons: Most of Springfield belong to a generic Christian denomination once identified as "the Western Branch of American Reform Presbylutheranism", which definitely isn't Catholic (there's even one episode about Bart and Homer converting to Catholicism), but may suddenly have suspiciously Catholic traditions depending on the scene. In "Like Father, Like Clown", Lovejoy co-hosts an ecumenical radio talk show with a Catholic priest and Jewish rabbi (who's Krusty the Clown's father). In an episode where it was feared Grandpa Simpson might die: Also averted in "The Frying Game", where a Catholic priest is comforting Marge and Homer as they sit on death row, and Marge informs him they're not Catholic. The priest (with a very noticeable Irish accent) dismisses them as going to Hell and gets up to leave. He passes Lovejoy, who quips "nice dress", and the two get into a fistfight. In "The Joy of Sect", Lovejoy advises his few churchgoers left to say the Lord's Prayer forty times, clearing in reference to the Catholic tradition of rosaries. |

Raising Helen: Subverted. The title character, upon gaining custody of her deceased sister's children and moving to New York City, enrolls them in a private school which she at first thinks is Catholic, but turns out to be Lutheran and she is confused by the differences between the two. Unfortunately, so were the filmmakers. The one thing the movie gets right about Lutheranism is that Lutheran pastors aren't sworn to celibacy. In fact, one suspects they made the school Lutheran rather than Catholic just so it would be okay for the main character to hook up with the priest. | |

The Dark Souls series has many Catholic-ish cathedrals, churches, shrines, and altars you walk through on your quest. This is especially prevalent in the third installment. Not to mention that there's a boss in Dark Souls III named Pontiff Sulyvahn. The last point is true only for localizations. In the original it's just a generic word for "religious leader". |

Averted in The Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries. Sookie is an onagain/offagain Methodist. Also in Charlaine Harris' Harper Connolly series. The protagonists occasionally have to deal with clerics but so far they've all been Protestant, maybe because they mostly operate in the Deep South. The most prominent character was a Baptist minister in "Ice Cold Grave". | |

Averted on Community, where all of the main characters have clearly-identified non-Catholic beliefs: Annie is Jewish, Britta's hostile to the very IDEA of religion, Shirley is a rather in-your-face Baptist, Abed is Muslim (since movies don't count as a religion), Troy is a Jehovah's witness, Pierce is a "Reformed Neo-Buddhist", and Jeff professes agnosticism but essentially worships himself. However, at one point Troy postulates that everyone is in Purgatory. Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe in Purgatory. Then again Troy is an idiot, it's likely he doesn't actually know the tenets of his own religion. | |

Scrubs: Nurse Laverne is the only character depicted as overtly religious. While she generally acts in a manner stereotypical of black Protestants, she clutches a rosary on her deathbed. More broadly, though, the hospital where the series is set is Sacred Heart, named for a distinctly Catholic devotion. Somewhat justified in that many hospitals were started by Catholic religious orders, and many still have some ties at least. Many orders of nuns had missions to specifically to act as nurses caring for the sick, as that is seen as a form of charity, one of the cardinal virtues in Catholic morality. It doesn't come into play much on the series, though. Other Characters as well appear Catholic: Turk references going to Mass in the "My Own Personal Jesus" and he and Carla get married at a Catholic Church (Which makes sense, considering Carla is Dominican) Dr. Cox watches a wedding video of him and Jordan, which uses footage from the actress's real wedding, which was in a Catholic Church. This arguably makes Jordan canonically Catholic. Also Jack was baptized in a Catholic Church. |

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) has an odd example. Mikael was trying to figure out what certain combinations of letters and numbers meant. His daughter visited him on the way to Bible camp during this time, saw the papers and asked him to "go easy on the Catholics." We find out that she recognized the references as biblical verses, and thought her journalist father was doing a story on the Catholic Church. Since Sweden in general views the Catholic Church as strange and foreign, and the film was released in the backwash of a Pedophile Priest scandal... it fits. | |

On the other hand, in the series Blood Ties (2007) the fact that the vampire is a good Catholic comes from his being greatly benefited by Catholicism. It was his dad, Henry VIII, who first split the Church, looking for a divorce and wanting to free England from Rome, and Henry Jr., our vampire, wanted to be king, obviously, thus he favored the Catholic Church. Never mind that most of England was Protestant by then, and the Catholic Queen Mary, the daughter of Henry VIII, was nicknamed Bloody Mary because of her desire to set England back to being Catholic. She tried to do this by killing off Protestants. | |

Supernatural : While Sam has at one point "reminded" Dean that they aren't Catholic, they seem to use a lot of Latin exorcisms, and every priest they talk to seems to be Catholic. Granted, it's never been specified which branch of Christianity the heaven/hell hierarchy in the show follows, but given that Supernatural leans heavily on all myths being true, it could be that every religion's true on that show. Which would beg the question of how exactly that works when some Christian demoninational beliefs regarding the afterlife are outright contradictory. The most common vision of Heaven/Hell used in media though, is actually from the Anglican/Espiscopalian Church. Since there is no mention made of Catholic Purgatory,note The "Purgatory" in this setting is actually the monsters' afterlife and has nothing to do with purging, despite appropriating the name. it seems likely this is what Sam and Dean actually are. Also the way angels seem to work fits better with an Episcopalian vision of things than a Catholic one (Catholics tend to place a lot more value on bodies, so the casual way that angels regard "vessels" would not make much sense in a Catholic setting). Though the divisions of Hell do recall Dante's Inferno and it may be that the writers themselves don't really know the differences between denominations. | |

The Exorcist. Obviously, as it is the only church to offer exorcism as a practice. This is Truth in Television. The Lutheran minister of the parents of the child in the real life case the movie is based on told the parents to get a Catholic priest because Lutherans had no exorcism tradition. There is such a thing as "deliverance" from demons in evangelical and charismatic Christianity, but Lutherans don't have that tradition, either.note Most Greeks are Eastern Orthodox, but a sizeable number are Frankoi Roman Catholics like Fr. Karras and his mother. | |

Averted in King of the Hill. The Hill family belongs to a Methodist church. Justified, as Catholicism was historically rare in Texas among families who were not of Hispanic, Irish, or Polish descent. This becomes a plot point in one episode when Peggy disguises herself as a nun to teach at a Catholic school; she's asked to sub in for a religion class and pretty quickly realizes she has no clue what she's doing. | |

In Marco Polo, the most prominent Christian character among the Mongols is Nayan, who becomes a Catholic and agrees to lead a crusade against his own people. This is a huge case of Artistic License – History, since the historical Nayan was an Nestorian Christian (who would have been considered an heretic by the Pope) and did rebel against his nephew Kublai on purely cultural basis since Nayan lived like a Mongol and thought Kublai was ditching his heritage to embrace Chinese values. In the show, he was flanderized as a Christian so much that he chose crucifixion as a way of execution after being defeated when the historical Nayan received the standard execution for those of royal blood: rolled up in a carpet and smothered to prevent his blood from being spilled. | |

Also averted in Europa Universalis, also from the same developers as Crusader Kings. The early game already features historical scenarios of wars between Protestant and Catholic nations with the nation you choosing affecting alliances, travel routes, and objectives. Later games not only expand on the functions such as allowing to convert to different factions, but even puts restrictions and advantages based on religious faction (such as being able to call to Rome to stop an invasion by another Catholic country). | |

The Binding of Isaac is heavily themed around Catholicism. You can find rosaries, mitres, nuns' habits, and Celtic crosses as items, confessional booths appear as unlockable level features in Repentance, Ominous Latin Chanting forms a large part of both soundtracks, a prominent endgame area is a cathedral full of ornate architecture and stained glass windows, and Word of God is that the game's generally violent and morbid tone was influenced heavily by Catholic imagery. The game is loosely autobiographical and Edmund McMillen was raised Catholic, so it's to be expected. | |

Played with in The Big Bang Theory. Among the main characters, Sheldon is a Hollywood Atheist, Leonard and Amy are agnostic, Penny subscribes to some kind of vague New Age spirituality, Howard is Jewish and Raj is Hindu; the only one who is explicitly Christian is Bernadette, who is Catholic. However, none of them appear particularly observant and the most religious character is Sheldon’s devout Southern Baptist mother. In the Prequel Spin-Off Young Sheldon, most of the town are members of Pastor Jeff's Southern Baptist church. There is however apparently a Catholic church in town which Sheldon's friend Tam and his family, who are refugees from Vietnam, are part of.

Three characters in Robin Hood (1973) are religious figures: Friar Tuck, a Church Mouse, and the mouse's wife, "Little Sister." They are shown taking care of a Catholic church; Friar Tuck rings the bells and the Church Mouse plays the organ. Appropriate for the time, as the events take place long before the Church of England split from the Catholic Church. | |

The Da Vinci Code: In Dan Brown's conspiracy theories, "The Church", meaning the Roman Catholic Church, is able to suppress knowledge everywhere in the world. Brown and his characters refer specifically and constantly to "The Church" as a world-wide power, which of course they are, though not to the extent of this representation. Since the story partially takes place at a time when the Church was the only allowed religion, and then in the country of Italy, often within the walls of the Vatican, it's understandable why this would be. As far as Dan Brown's accounts of the Catholic Church in history, and Her relationship with various famous figures and events, well, let's just leave it by saying that there is a reason Dan Brown is known for Falsely Advertised Accuracy regarding History and sciences. | |

Dark Angel: The Ascent is fairly dripping with Catholicism, with various references to "the One True Church" and an emissary from Heaven referring to God as "the First Cause." Interesting in that it subverts 2,000 years of Christian folklore and, arguably, doctrine in portraying the devils as God's damned-but-still-loyal-and-pious servants, rather than ever-rebellious enemies. | |

The opening scene in Murder on the Orient Express (2017) features a priest in Jerusalem being tried for the theft of a precious artifact. He isn't explicitly said to be Catholic, but he wears a biretta and cassock which are standard regalia. While there has always been a Catholic presence in the region, most of the local Christians are Orthodox so it would have been more likely if the priest wore a kamilavka and had a long beard. | |

The New Mutants: Rahne is a Catholic, despite most Scots who are Christian being Protestants (and her being Presbyterian in the comics), although oddly she calls her priest "Reverend Craig" rather than "Father Craig". (Reverend Craig also appears in a flashback, wearing the regalia of a bishop.) The chapel on the grounds is also specifically Catholic rather than nondenominational, with a confessional. It's the only representation of Christianity, since no other characters are shown to be religious. | |

The two times that a church has appeared on WWE programming (when "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Booker T had a brawl in one, and when Vince and Shane McMahon used one as a backdrop to mock Shawn Michaels' faith), it was a Catholic church, complete with confession booth, font of holy water, etc. Note that the real-life Michaels, and thus presumably the character Michaels, is a born-again Evangelical, not a Catholic (although he was baptized Catholic as a baby). As well, the short-lived Reverend D'Von character, while talking like a Southern Baptist, dressed like a Catholic priest, and his entrance video had a very gothic stained-glass motif. This might be because the McMahons are of Irish descent. Amusingly, Reverend D'Von was given an assistant named Deacon Batista, whose real name is Dave Bautista. Bautista is Spanish for "baptist" and usually refers to Protestant Baptist religions. Mike Shaw's Friar Ferguson, "The Mad Monk", lasted only a handful of matches before the Catholic church and the New York media raised enough pressure to have him removed. Averted in the WWF/WWE's one successful religious gimmicked character, Brother Love, who was a pastiche of Baptist Televangelist cliches. Oddly inverted by Rey Mysterio Jr., who, while being notably Roman Catholic and heard to recite prayers in proper form, uses a modified, two-handed sign of the cross in the ring (both hands to forehead, chest, then one hand to either shoulder) while using the regular version in backstage skits. |

Averted in Call the Midwife. The nuns and priests are Anglicans, one of the very few depictions of Anglican nuns in popular culture. They occasionally poke fun at their pop cultural relationship with Catholic nuns, as it is noted in-universe that they experienced a significant rise in vocations when The Song of Bernadette came out. The fictional order is based on the real life Community of St. John the Divine, an order of Anglican nuns devoted to hospital care for poor urban communities. | |

Subverted in Everybody Loves Raymond. The Italian-American Barones are Catholic, but Robert's recurring girlfriend and later wife Amy and her family are Protestants. There's a lot of passive-aggressive tension between Amy's very religious parents and the equally devout Marie; Frank also doesn't like them but that's mostly because they're sanctimonious and repressed as he's significantly less religious that the other three. | |

2000 AD series: Canon Fodder stars an extremely militant Catholic priest, who appears to have unrestrained jurisdiction to deliver his particular brand of ass-kicking at will. Subverted in Defoe. The titular character is an Independent, while the majority of other Christian characters are Independent and Anglican, as was typically of Restoration-era England. Parodied in Pussyfoot Five, in which a futuristic Catholic Church makes use of a team of sexy female commandos for no readily apparent reason. |

Played with in The Owl House. Belos is all but stated to have been raised as a New England Puritan back when he was Philip Wittebane, but the Cult of Personality he's built around himself on the Boiling Isles (the closest that the show gets to displaying any form of religion) has a lot of Catholic trappings. Given how Puritans of the time viewed Catholicism and Belos' own hatred of the witches and demons who worship him, it's almost certainly meant to be a Stealth Insult on his part. | |

Averted in the Honest Hearts DLC for Fallout: New Vegas, where the devoutly religious New Canaanites belong to remains of the LDS Church. The religion of the tribes living in the Zion Valley is a blend of LDS beliefs and native animistic beliefs. When the first New Caananite missionaries came to Zion, the tribes conflated God the Father with their chief spirit, The Father in the Caves. | |

The A-Team: In the Deep South, Face disguises himself by wearing a clerical collar. He shortly gets into a conversation with a Daisy Duke-type bare-navel, cut-off-shorts bimbo who immediately identifies him as a priest and wants to talk about the problems of celibacy. There's also the episode in Season 5 where Murdock approaches the priest with "Forgive me Father for I'm about to sin" before disguising himself as the priest to get into the prison to help the rest of the team. Not forgetting the fact that Face was raised in a Catholic orphanage and there's the episode where he and Murdock disguise themselves as nuns to help a similar Orphanage. |

Batman: Selina Kyle (Catwoman) came from a Catholic family. Her sister Maggie became a nun. Commissioner Gordon may not be outright stated to be Catholic but Bruce has gone to meet him while Gordon is at or leaving Catholic mass on several occasions. The Joker is sentenced to the electric chair in one graphic novel (before being pardoned by the governor at the last few seconds). Before his scheduled execution, he tortures a Catholic priest by "confessing" his sins to him. ("That was the last time I ever used shards of broken glass.") The Order of St. Dumas (although they're actually heretics who claim to be Catholic). Tim Drake's mother was Catholic. His father is more ambiguous as he was originally intended to be a non-practicing Jew but was never written this way and Tim said years after his death that he wasn't aware of his father having ties to any religion. |

In the Boojumverse, we only see a new denomination come about because of the Strange Eons passing: a Pro-Human Transhuman "cult" which practises Bio-Augmentation and take Do Unto Others very seriously. They're noted to be weird but friendly. | |

Let the Right One In: The Kanes are Catholics, or at least they were, with Mark having severe doubts as a result of what they suffered (his deceased wife Elizabeth had been the most religious one).

Chrono Crusade is another Church Militant series set in the United States, which... sorta fits under this trope. It's complicated. The manga is vague on which denomination the Order is supposed to belong to. In fact, the mangaka admitted in an interview that he did "whatever suited him" when creating the Order, so it doesn't quite fit... well... any of them. It definitely looks the closest to Catholicism, though, and most fanfics treat the Order as such, too (with vows, rosaries, and confessionals), so in general it still fits the trope. Adding to the complication is that the manga is clearly set in an Alternate History. Maybe the Catholic Church evolved differently? In the anime, the Order is aesthetically Catholic, but it's explicitly stated that the Magdalene Order is in fact a joint effort by Catholics, Protestants, and Jews. Rosette is also stated to be a nun in the manga, while in the anime she's just got a nun-ish uniform. It's complicated. |

Averted and played straight in Defying Gravity, set in the mid 21st Century where the mission commander is a (lapsed) Buddhist and another character is Hindu. However, the only character who is a professed Christian is, you guessed it, Catholic, even though in an episode only aired in Canada she professes belief in the Rapture, which is probably a case of Artistic License – Religion although admittedly doctrine might have changed in forty+ years. | |

In Trinity Blood, Catholicism is pretty much the only religion, period. Although given that it's set 1000 years After the End and Europe (which is largely Catholic in Real Life) was the only bit of the world that wasn't nuked into oblivion, this might be somewhat justified. It is also probably worth noting that the church in Trinity Blood is a political and military organization as much as a religious one. | |

Alexander Nevsky is an particularly egregious example: the only Christians we see are the Teutonic Knights and the bishops representing the Pope who are automatically Catholic, yet despite the movie taking place in medieval Russia, there is virtually no reference of Orthodox Christianity whatsoever among the Russians — there are no crosses on churches and their banners feature no images of Jesus, only generic beasts. This makes sense in a meta perspective: the movie was a Soviet production with a heavy anti-religious tract, therefore the Christians are the bad guys while the heroic Russians are highly secularized. | |

Silence takes place in Feudal Japan when the first European country to make contact with them were the Roman Catholic Portuguese, so naturally Catholicism is the faith being preached there. This becomes a plot point when there are Japanese converts that keep their faith in secret but Ferreira doesn't considers it "really Christian" since it doesn't resemble Catholicism, which makes him lose his faith and commit apostasy. There is also a Dutch character in the movie and while his faith goes unmentioned, it's presumed he is probably a Calvinist considering the time period (the Protestant Reformation having already taken place) and that the Dutch also had a limited contact with Japan (though Dutch Catholics existed too, and still do). | |

Discussed and played with in a Wonderfalls episode where a nun considers leaving the Church and a priest tries to convince her to stay. Exorcism is also involved. This seems like playing it straight, until Jaye tells her family she's involved with the nun because she needed religious help with her problems, at which point her mother gently asks her if she knows nuns are Catholic, and her father proudly reminds her of the superiority of their own Protestant faith. | |

In John Wick the titular character disrupts a church service by a corrupt priest who is using the church to hide money for the Russian mob. Despite being an agent of the Russian mob who even speaks Russian, he seems to appear to be a Catholic priest, he doesn't look like a Russian Orthodox priest at all (who have completely different vestments and are known for their long beards), and the church far more resembles a Catholic one. | |

All Christian characters on Lost whose denominations have been specified are Roman Catholic. This includes Mr. Eko, a priest (except not really;) Charlie, who is English and would more likely be Anglican; and Kate, who uses saints' names as aliases while on the run, and always calls her Inspector Javert "pursuer on high holy days". Also Desmond, a former novice and Celtic supporter. Claire and Aaron, by on-show baptism. The memorial for Christian Shepherd is in a church with Catholic-appearing statuary. Hugo "Hurley" Reyes seems to be rather lukewarm in his Catholicism in stark contrast to his devout mother. | |

Writers of Kim Possible fanfics, for some reason, generally assume that the Possibles are Roman Catholic, despite the total and utter lack of canon evidence thereof. King in Yellow deals with religion in his work more than any of the other authors. He portrays the Possibles as Methodist, while Ron's family is Jewish (as per the show). Interestingly, Shego is also Jewish in his stories, as her grandmother was one of the "Lost Children," a group of European Jews who immigrated to the United States during the Holocaust. Of course, the author is a professor of Religious History, so this is to be expected. | |

The Christianism (it's even named so) of the game's setting shares a lot of elements with Catholicism such as the clergy's organization — except that the Emperor (now Empress) is at the top (now just in theory) even if just as a spiritual leader — some dogma, and of course an Inquisition that is there to root out everything that, according to the Church, is related to the Devil (read: non-human races and people with supernatural powers). | |

On the other hand, the various Law & Order series have a higher percentage of church-related plotlines that involve Protestant denominations than most series. Notably, virtually all the episodes that center the Catholic Church involve an accusation of pedophilia (although the Catholic Church also comes up in periphery on occasion, usually in relation to a main character's faith), whereas Protestant-focused episodes are slightly more diverse in theme. | |

Tintin, who first appeared in a right-wing Catholic newspaper from (in the 1920s) overwhelmingly Catholic Belgium, is of course Catholic, even though it does not often come up in-story apart from Tintin in Congo, where he visits a missionary station. But Tintin's creator Hergé sent out Christmas cards to his friends which would e. g. show Tintin and members of the supporting cast going to Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve etc. Interestingly Hergé found himself attracted to Taoism as he grew older. | |

Averted in Moral Orel, set in the decidedly Evangelical Protestant town of Moralton. Possibly inverted with all the Moralton townsfolk mocking and occasionally reviling Catholicism. As far as the people of Moralton are concerned, only Protestant Fundamentalists are true Christians, while Catholics might as well be godless pagans. And sadly, this is Truth in Television for certain fundamentalists. Notably to the point where speaking the profane tongues of the Necronomicon is still better than speaking in Latin like a Catholic. | |

There's a surprisingly high number of Catholics on The West Wing — despite the fact that they're a relative minority in government — including two consecutive Presidents. Since guilt and redemption are major themes of the series, and President Bartlet himself almost became a priest, it seems Catholicism made for more interesting stories. There's also a high number of open atheists (including the Republican nominee for President), so it may have to do with the show's commitment to greater diversity. However, while Catholics may be a relative rarity in the Presidency, but they are not relatively rare in government as a whole. Catholics make up the biggest single religious group in Congress, for example, and have significant representation in the FBI. | |

So do many of the submariners in one scene of the film adaptation of The Hunt for Red October. The usual Hand Wave is that they are Lithuanian like their commander, Marko Ramius.note Lithuania is the only former Soviet republic with a Catholic majority, about 80%.

It varies in VeggieTales, depending on the setting. "St. Nicholas, A Story of Joyful Giving" is set in third century Turkey, making the represented church Catholic. However, episodes like "An Easter Carol" and "The Star of Christmas" are set in Victorian England, and thus the Church of England is represented. In "Twas the Night Before Easter," set in 21st century America, the church featured is the "Crisper County Gospel Church," a Protestant church of unspecified denomination. However, due to the presence of Gospel music along with Bob the Tomato wearing a Clerical collar and references to Infant Baptism, it could be guessed that it's a Methodist church. It's worth noting that the show's creator, Phil Vischer, is a member of the United Church of Christ. | |

Medieval Lady Death takes place in Russia during the Dark Ages, more specifically in the Novgorod Republic which is portrayed as being under Catholic jurisdiction under the Pope by the Teutonic Knights. No mention of the Orthodox Church either, which was the Russian religion since 988. | |

In Father Ted, all the characters are Catholic, but then again rural Irish Christians are almost all Catholic in reality. However, an odd moment is when the priests watch the original The Poseidon Adventure, on the grounds that Gene Hackman plays a priest. One even laments "He didn't even say Mass!" However, he's not a priest, he's a Protestant reverend, and thus unlikely to say Mass. | |

The Boondock Saints opens with a powerful shot of a Catholic priest in a beautiful church... reciting the Protestant formula of the Lord's Prayer. The Catholic Mass has a short invocation by the priest in between "deliver us from evil" and the doxology, and the latter section is omitted entirely when the Our Father is recited outside of Mass. Also, the Lord's Prayer comes after the Eucharistic Prayer, not before the homily. | |

Subverted in Catch-22, when Chaplain Tappman (or Shipman, depending on the version), constantly reminds people that they don't need to call him "Father," as he's an Anabaptist. A secondary Running Gag is that it confuses people into thinking that he's just declaring he isn't a Baptist. | |

The main characters in Babylon 5 have a variety of religious beliefs (or lack thereof), but those with a Christian background all seem to have been Catholic. Sinclair was educated by Jesuits as a teenager; Garibaldi is agnostic but was "raised a good Catholic boy"; the DVD special Voices in the Dark establishes that Lochley is Catholic as well. One aversion takes place when a Baptist African-American pastor shows up for a meeting of religious leaders from Earth hosted by the station. However, he too is a bit stereotypical: he comes to the station with a complete gospel choir who feature prominently in the service he delivers. (The choir can be justified by Rule of Cool: their performance in the closing minutes of the episode, played over the scenes of a small army of Narn rebels chasing Lord Refa and brutally beating him to death (as part of an elaborate trap cooked up by Londo Mollari and G'Kar), is one of the most memorable things in the whole series.) |

Garrison Keillor's "News from Lake Wobegon" anecdotes from A Prairie Home Companion often allude to the relationship between the town's Lutherans and Catholics, and if anything the trope is inverted; Keillor has joked that "Even the Catholics up here are Lutheran." That's probably because they're German Catholics, and thus have more in common ethnically with the German-descended Lutherans than with other breeds of Catholic.note Although, in truth, more Minnesota Lutherans are of Scandanavian than German descent. | |

Stigmata is about a priest investigating a woman who has manifested the title wounds and speaks in tongues. Made very funny, as (former altar boy) Roger Ebert points out, because the filmmakers think that the woman's having been entered by the Holy Ghost is the same thing as demonic possession. Especially since that means that every Catholic who has received the sacrament of Confirmation has been demonically possessed, since according to Catholic belief, the Holy Spirit enters the body during Confirmation. | |

Dogma features two fallen angels whose actions of disrupting a Catholic church's anniversary celebration would lead to a Cessation of Existence, and George Carlin's character is the Catholic cardinal more concerned with the event going off without a hitch than the warnings about the angels. Oddly enough, the movie postulates that Catholic dogma can undo all of creation but no mention is made of conflicting dogmatic principles found in hundreds of other denominations. | |

Odd example in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Catholic Spanish see the supernatural oddity throughout the films from a very Christian/Catholic viewpoint. The English (who, at least correctly here, aren't Catholic, except possibly Gibbs) don't seem to have any religion at all — as far as they're concerned it's just a law and order issue. This is probably due to the two stereotypes of Spaniards being ignorant and superstitious and Catholicism being much more high-profile aesthetically than Protestantism. However, the Anglican Church is implied to be around, as in Curse of the Black Pearl Jack is mentioned as having "impersonated a cleric of the Church of England." | |

The Imperium of Man from Warhammer 40,000 is what happens when you recycle Catholicism In Space and emphasize its Dark Age Europe aspects. The Imperial official language of High Gothic is futuristic Latin, the State Religion calls itself the Ecclesiarchy (complete with elaborately-costumed Priests, dusty Scriptures, and legions of battle nuns!), all centered around the God-Emperor. The worst offence in the Imperium, that is political dissent, is automatically named Heresy (which was overused so much that it became a meme in the /tg/ community as referring to anything disgusting), and the State Sec Secret Police dedicated to rooting out Heresy and exorcising any and all forms of Daemonic cults even names itself the Inquisition. | |

Left Behind: The heroes are primarily Evangelical Protestant or converted Jews and Muslims, with only the Catholic pope before Peter Mathews and the priest of a Catholic congregation in South America being Caught Up in the Rapture while the majority of Catholics become part of the Corrupt Church known as Enigma Babylon One World Faith. Leonardo Fortunato, the False Prophet, was raised on Catholicism, but he mostly liked it for the tradition of its priests wearing robes, so it's no surprise that when he became the High Reverend Father of Carpathianism, he was starting to dress in rather fanciful religious robes that try to incorporate every possible religious symbol except for Christianity and Judaism. | |

Banestorm: Catholicism is the most dominant Christian faith due to the Crusaders being displaced from Medieval Era into Yrth before the Protestant Reformation took place. This is invoked in-universe by the Curia which decided, upon hearing news of the Protestant Reformation and the turmoil it brought from Banestorm victims, to stop Protestantism from ever taking root in this world, forcibly converting Protestants brought by Banestorm, mind wiping them, or killing them. It is however noted that Protestantism still survives underground (or openly in Cardiel and Muslim countries), with the Huguenots being the largest tradition. | |

Cannonball, who is from Kentucky, is a Baptist.

Given a token aversion in High School D×D, as Irina is explicitly Protestant, contrasting two other Catholic characters, whereas otherwise Christianity is presented as one faction. Word of God has it that the author is aware of the differences between denominations, but since the series plays with Crossover Cosmology, grouping the Christian church into one organization made things much easier to keep track of. Additionally, God, heaven, and angels from the bible are actually present in the series (and major characters in some cases), making many inconsistencies self-reconciling. | |

Averted big time in 7th Heaven which is all about a Protestant minister and his family. Although the exact denomination is never mentioned hints were dropped a couple of times during the series long run that it was either non-denominational or Disciples of Christ. Also, inverted In-Universe when daughter Mary marries Catholic Carlos and other family members make a point to remark "They are from different religions...", so apparently to the Camdens, Christianity Is Protestant.note This was once common by both Catholics and Protestants, since they both condemned each other as heretics. Except for the fundamentalist types though it's become passe. | |

Kaitou Saint Tail is a Catholic schoolgirl, her base of operations is a Catholic church, her informant is an "apprentice nun" (who blatantly breaks the rules of confidentiality regarding the confessional, which is something real clergy could get a lot of trouble for)note Breaking the seal of confession results in instant excommunication that can only be lifted by the Pope after personally hearing the offending priest's confession, and all the victims that she helps are also Catholic. Given that they're in a predominantly Shinto country, it's odd that no one seems to notice. | |

Forever (2014): When Henry is transferred from Charing Cross Asylum to Southwark prison, his cellmate is a priest (in prison for sleeping with the magistrate's wife). When Henry tells him he'd never believe his story, the priest replies that he's Catholic, and "we believe even when we know we're wrong!" | |

In Desperado, El Mariarchi goes to confession, and in the other scene, he makes a sign of the cross. Protestants do not practice any of these. Of course, El is Mexican, so Catholic is a safe assumption. | |

In In Nomine, the two Archangels who promote Christianity (Dominic and Laurence) have a preference for Catholicism over other creeds. And when Gabriel appears to Mohammad, creating Islam, she cops so much strife for it that she barely visits Heaven anymore. |

On the HBO prison drama Oz Father Ray Mukada, a prison chaplain, is a Catholic priest, and Sister Peter Marie, the prison psychologist, is a nun. The series features a significant number of other Catholics, as many characters are Irish, Italian or Latino. Even so, the series does feature characters of other religions, including several prominent Muslims, a rarity in American media. This trope was also subverted somewhat in Season Four with the introduction of the character Jeremiah Cloutier, an Evangelical Protestant minister (who claims the Catholic Church is a tool of Satan, and thus clashes with Fr. Makuda, plus winning away some Catholic prisoners). | |

The Mote in God's Eye, by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, features a future Empire of Man that possesses an official State Church. The Church is obviously a descendant of the Catholic Church, to the point that its Headquarters is called 'New Rome'. When a first contact expedition to an extraterrestrial civilization is mounted, the government sees fit to send along a priest as the Church's representative to the locals. | |

South Park is a good example. Every inhabitant of South Park who is not Jewish is Catholic; there are no explicitly Protestant characters (in Real Life Colorado, the State South Park is located in, 44% of the population is Protestant, only 19% is Catholic). This can be attributed to series co-creator Trey Parker being raised Catholic. Some gaffes include all the men in town dressing up in Ku Klux Klan robes (the Klan is a strongly anti-Catholic group) to scare away black families moving into the area (although one of those men was a practicing Jew anyway, so that gag could have just been for Rule of Funny) and a visiting character from New England referring to the townspeople as "hick jock redneck stereotypes," which would ordinarily denote Protestants. Of course, Mormonism is very visible in the world of South Park. The creators seem to have a soft spot for Mormons, even though the foundation of the Latter-Day Saints church is mocked as much as anything else in that show. This once again averted even further in the episode "Ginger Cow" with showing a lot of Protestant, Oriental Orthodox and Eastern Orthodox leaders (and without Catholic Pope appearing once) in debate room and for rest of episode using Ecumenical Patriarch (De jure Eastern Orthodox head) to presents Christianity. |

Averted in The Promise (2016) where most of the cast are Armenian Apostolic Christians, who are often mistaken as Eastern Orthodox (like Russians, Greeks, and Romanians), but aren't in communion with them. One scene takes place in an Armenian mass presided over by historical priest and singer Father Komitas. The movie also features an American missionary as a supporting character who is presumably Protestant of some denomination. Seems like everyone here is anything but Roman Catholic (which makes sense, since almost no Christians in Turkey were Catholic, and they still aren't). | |

Twisted Metal (2023) has the Preacher who almost seems like an in-universe inverstion. Before the world got destroyed, he is implied to have been a Catholic priest as he mentions he was "celibate" and Protestants don't practice celibacy but his actual look seems now to combine Roman Catholic Bishop cassock, and 18th century Puritan Preacher's hat and beard. And term "Preacher" is most commonly used by evengelicals and Puritans. It's likely after apocalypse, he retained his Catholic cassock and donned preacher's hat and beard as simply an outfit as leader of the Holy Men. | |

In the Chaos Timeline, there is no big Catholic-Protestant split (except for some minor, uninfluential movements). Instead, power gradually shifted to the governments of the Catholic nations — a bit like our Anglicanism, or Gallican church, while the rituals and most of the doctrine were kept unchanged. (In this world's Nippon, the tenno frex is head of the Nipponese Catholic church!) The Pope was gradually reduced to a mere figurehead — although this changed unexpectedly again when he had to go to Australia after the revolution in Britain. | |

In Family Guy: Nearly the entire Griffin family, who are Irish-Americans (an ethnicity with a very high proportion of Catholics) hailing from Rhode Island (which has the highest percentage of Catholics in the US), are Roman Catholic, and Peter's ultra-conservative father Francis is particularly strict about the religion. The Pope also makes a regular appearance in Cutaway Gags. The exceptions are Lois, who is Protestant, and Brian, who is an atheist (apparently, although this was mentioned in a later episode). In fact, Lois being Protestant was the main (and probably only) reason why Francis hated her so much. Curiously, Lois sometimes is seen trying to convince the rest of the Griffins to go to (a Catholic) church. Wouldn't he be happy she converted? | |

Averted in Hellsing. Dissensions between British Protestantism and Vatican Catholicism is an important part of the plot (although it still gets plenty of Fantastic Catholicism), and while some of the more zealous members of Iscariot Section XIII would hope to make this a fact someday, a major part of the friction between Hellsing and Iscariot is the fact that Christianity is NOT always Catholic due to Hellsing's Protestant roots. Ironically, the founder of the organization — Abraham van Helsing — was himself noted to be a highly devout Catholic, but converted in order to gain the support and patronage of the Church of England and the English Crown. Though it wouldn't be hard to miss that little fact when all you see of Hellsing is Redshirts being led by an Eldritch Abomination. However, both sides are depicted in a fairly accurate light and the various hostilities between the branches, including the continued dispute over Northern Ireland and Hellsing's jurisdiction in Catholic countries like Brazil, reflects Real Life issues that Christians are quite familiar with. Not only Kouta Hirano usually does his research, but he's reportedly a Real Life friend with a Trigun author Yasuhiro Nightow, who is a practicing Christian, so all the discrepancies should probably be written off as a Rule of Cool. |

Despite being about its main character converting specifically to Catholicism, Angel of the Bat goes pretty far out of its way to avert this. Cassandra Cain is drawn specifically to Catholicism after a run in with a priest, but she is regularly told that it isn't the only Christian belief set and doesn't have to be the one she chooses to convert to. Her primary teacher is even Stephanie Brown, who the fic depicts as a Methodist and freely admits a few of Catholic concepts are lost on her. | |

Naturally averted in the Village Tales series, that series being after all British. There is a small RC congregation centered in Beechbourne, under dear Mgr Folan; there are Jews and Muslims, there are Nonconformists, there are plenty of the unchurched; but such Christian observance as there is in the district is Established, C of E, and so High Church as to make "Anglo-Catholic" an inadequate description. The real conflicts in the series on the ecclesiastical front, although waged with respect and affection, are between these parishes (which are also traditionalist, and under the Alternative Episcopal Oversight of Ebbsfleet) and trendier parishes, including the adjoining benefice in the market town of Beechbourne (Team Rector: Canon Judith "I need your approval like a fish needs a chasuble" Potecary). | |

Constantine (2005) uses an entirely Catholic ruleset (or, better said, Catholicism as imagined by Hollywood) to determine who goes to Hell and who goes to Heaven. This is notable since the universe upon which the film is based has all gods existing together. | |

Love & War has the Church of Infinity, which could honestly be viewed as an Expy of the Catholic Church. They have their own country, just like the real-world Vatican; their head is the Pontiff; their current pontiff is called Pious XXI; and their bishops, archbishops, and nuns wear traditionally Catholic outfits. In the remake, Henrik Spenson, who is a member, even has a cross, or perhaps a rosary, in his room. | |

Averted in Crusader Kings II. While the base game focuses on the crusading Catholics, the game features all 4 major branches of Christianity of the time (Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Miaphysitism, and Nestorianism; Protestantism post-dates the gameplay period by a century) as playable religions; however, Catholicism and Orthodoxy are by far the most widely spread branches of the Christian faith. They also have a bunch of historical heresies (e.x Catharism for Catholicism, Iconoclasm for Orthodoxy), which, if powerful enough, can become the new main faith of their branch. Also, the DLC Legacy of Rome have the Byzantine/Roman Emperor can mend the Great Schism eventnote If Byzantine Empire control all four other important holy cities/sites beside Constantinople, turning Catholicism into a new Orthodox heresynote other three more heresies in-universe are Bogomilism, Monothelitism, and Paulicanism, effectively turning the trope into Christianity Is Orthodox in-universe instead. The game does enter into this with the later DLCs, which expanded the start date from 1066 to the earlier 867 and 769 start dates. The Great Schism that split the churches did not officially happen until the 11th century, and at these points in time the Latin and Greek churches were still in communion with each other and shared territory, making the distinction of 'Catholic' and 'Orthodox' much fussier. This means it's possible, as the Byzantine Emperor, to mend the Great Schism 200 years before it happened, by de-legitimizing a sect of Christianity that didn't (officially) exist at the time. |

Later, Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America also got a (presumably Catholic) Irish background via retcon. | |

Captain Atom: Nightshade (Eve Eden) was originally from a Catholic family, though after DC Comics integrated her into their continuity, she converted to Catholicism as a teen despite her father's protests. | |
