My impression this is not he Knight of the Holy Catholic Church. But a failed ploy/plot of the Father (Jesuit Priest) who strode along Chesterton’s series of short stories. Luckily I’ve read the Father Brown stories, the ones produced by Acorn Media with Kenneth Moore (or More, forget correctly spelling), and the one with Sir Alec Guiness playing as Father Brown in the Great Detective.
As the article writer concludes, the Unitarian reverend Brown masquerades under the title/stories written by Chesterton.
I don’t like the personality of this series made by the BBC. And I don’t like Harry Potter’s uncle playing a priest.
Although there are many episodes in this production I do not like/see failed depiction of Chesterton’s character, there is one I want to point out upon and reflect.
There’s murder that the detectives need to uncover, and have had a hard time finding the real culprit. Through the episode there’s a club for cross dressers and the like. It’s one of those places where people were not accepted by society, went. Well one guy (dressed as a woman, and appearing like one) called himself Jacky. And when the Unitarian Reverend Brown visited (I will use and call him this name, or it would lay a fictional character’s identity to the fictitious identity of the folly of this man in BBC production.) When the Rev. Brown visited, the cross-dressed man felt terrible with the priest being there. And that the priest made a man like that unwelcomed in society. As the whole conversation took place on the Rev. Brown’s inquiries of a murder, Rev. Brown called the cross dressed by the feminine he liked to be called. As if this were a sense of justice that the Rev. Brown would not stand for in marginalizing people caught up in calling themselves what names they wanted, and what genders they wanted to appear. It’s as if though this Rev. Brown wanted to defend and lay down defiance to a world of make believe which children set up. And yet to inherit its’ mark on reality.
Father Brown, from what I believe, would focus on the facts of the case. Perhaps he would’ve called the man by the feminine name. Not realizing that was a man cross dressed as a woman. But believed that was a woman. However, after leaving, the real Father Brown would had likely realized the peculiarity in/of the facts in play, made by some latent observations of the person he was speaking to. And the Church lady who went with him to that club, would’ve asked Father did he not know that was a man dressed up as a woman? I believe then, in Chesterton’s mind (essentially the actual priest he based his character on) would’ve asked how it is odd that opposites attract, but to consolidate it in one. The man desires to be a woman. But does he not desire the sweetness and affections of one? Thus does he not attract to be like the other, because he is attracted to the other? This would’ve ensued the Innocence/Wisdom of Father Brown. And not the Unitarian dressed in clerical robe/attire. Would the real Father Brown please stand up? And so far, that has not been observed by the BBC.
