Hey. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this question as I am new here. I have been struggling with questions like this lately and with what I believe is scrupulous behavior. I was wondering if it would be ok for Catholics to watch the Despicable Me movies. The Bible says that “I will not put any evil thing before my eyes”- Psalm 101:3. The first movie shows the main character Gru doing many evil things and he is trying to become a better villain. It is a redemptive story though, and shows Gru turning away from evil after he adopts three girls and learns to be a better father. Even though the series was created by Mormons, I think it has many Catholic values (Kids are shown praying before bed and the villain redeems himself and becomes a better person.) Thanks for any help and sorry if this is a stupid question.
 
Thank you for your response. Its been really hard to stop worrying about sin and it’s almost depressing me.

I’m sorry that you’re suffering.

Scrupulosity is terrible to go through.

I suggest you ask your priest for guidance.

The “evil” in Despicable me is just silly implausible “evil”.
 
Sorry to hear that. I’ll pray for you. Let me know if you have any questions and I’ll try to help.
 
I watch them my kids love them and gru, looks and talks exactly like our parish priest!
It’s about as not sinful of a movie as you can find these days
 
Hi, welcome to the forums.
If you are struggling with scruples, please don’t post questions like this here. It could make your condition worse, and we are not supposed to respond to scrupulous questions.

Instead, please discuss with your priest, in person.
 
Ok. Sorry I posted it. Thank you for the welcome 😀
