That depends on the insult and the character of said priest.Can we watch a movie where a priest character is insulted?
Can we watch one where the insult is just part of a bigger story of redemption?
Apart from pornography we can watch whatever movies we want.Can we watch a movie where a priest character is insulted?

If someone’s faith can be swayed simply by watching a film then said person should seriously reconsider their religious beliefs.However, it would be foolish for those weak in faith to watch movies that might sway them for one reason or another.
Well I’ve been taught to always respect the priestly office, so I’m just guessing I should never tolerate the mistreatment of priests even fictionally. As such, it doesn’t matter what movie I refer to; but If you need one, imagine a hypothetical movie x, wherein a priest is insulted. Should I watch it?Where priests are insulted. Which multitude of these kinds of movies do you refer to?
Anything which is holy is treated as stupid.
The priestly office is hardly a shield against criticism. That sort of attitude is what complicated the sex abuse issue and I certainly won’t be one of those apologizing for it in that regard.Well I’ve been taught to always respect the priestly office, so I’m just guessing I should never tolerate the mistreatment of priests even fictionally.
Correct. Had there been more scrutiny on the part of the Church hierarchy – in its entirety – the Church would not have found itself in a situation where it can be derided and insulted. It’s time to face the music with humility, penitence and an awareness that everything can’t always be swept under the carpet as it always used to be before.The priestly office is hardly a shield against criticism.

I agree. I watched so-called Christians being interviewed after watching The Da Vinci Code and many of them thought it might be true. Weak in faith people should steer clear of such movies.If someone’s faith can be swayed simply by watching a film then said person should seriously reconsider their religious beliefs.
It was probably insulting to both.Way not enough information. An insult can be againtst the Priest’s person, where he shows that he is the bigger man and responds with love. The insult can also be against his office, which is very different.
Without the specifics, it’s not possible to say.
Or maybe some small idea is starting to make sense and resonate in their mind.I agree. I watched so-called Christians being interviewed after watching The Da Vinci Code and many of them thought it might be true. Weak in faith people should steer clear of such movies.
