00:00How are you, my dear brothers and sisters? It's so good to greet you. And now I have a very important topic to discuss,
00:24It's going to be a short miniseries where we'll make a brief commentary on the movie Nefarious.
00:32Unfortunately, it hasn't been showing in our cinemas for very long,
00:36Because, as we'll see in the commentary, it touches on some rather complicated topics. So today
00:42The world's agenda does not allow this to be discussed widely and openly.
00:49But I wanted to do this series trying to reveal some of the most important elements
00:57important aspects of the film. And I would truly like to share with you all one of the
01:03The best catechesis we can have on the need for evangelization. Because what this
01:10The film reveals the demon's thoughts, his way of acting, and above all, his plan of destruction.
01:19which he has for all of us, which he carries out and is carrying out with considerable ease, thanks to the
01:27The absence of evangelization by the church. It's sad to say, but it's true. In this film we
01:35We realize that in all this, in this lack of work in the evangelization of the church, we cannot
01:43We will not be eliminated. In it, we too, all the baptized, count, especially those who
01:52We say, or those of us who call ourselves practitioners. I wanted, as I was saying a while ago, to do this
01:59production. Well, people might think, those who have already seen it, that they're going to see it, it seems like they're going to
02:05Put it back in theaters. Well, it's just another movie about the devil, like so many others.
02:10What's up, brothers, it's not like that. Here people suddenly get scared and say, no, I don't want to see her, because
02:15In all the devil movies we see decapitations and blood and all that. No, this one is absolutely not like that.
02:23This film was produced with the advice of theologians and priests who are in contact with
02:30The ministry of exorcism. I myself, who am in this ministry, find in the film one of the
02:37better expositions of who the devil is and what he does. But above all, the film is very much in
02:46the context of what we are experiencing in our society today, so that we can see ourselves reflected in it
02:52In it, we, our reality, in everything that the demon, through the possessed one, will reveal in
03:00This film. We must certainly clarify that it is not a true story. The film is based
03:08In Steve Bates' book, Nefarious Plot, however, he perfectly narrates the plan of destruction.
03:18nefarious plan of the devil for humanity, a plan that has been underway since the creation of the world.
03:25In this production, I will try to analyze and, above all, highlight the elements that are most
03:34important in the film. It would be very convenient if before watching this series, this catechesis, you watched
03:42the film so you can have a complete view of everything I'll be saying throughout
03:47of these reflections. And above all, well, nobody likes it at the beginning of a movie because...
03:55To know the ending and what's happening in the rest. If you watch this catechesis first and then
04:00You watch the movie, and it won't make much sense anymore. I mean, anyway, I also enjoy doing this.
04:08I have a general idea of where to start, I just need to see how it's coming together. But anyway, my recommendation would be that
04:14Before you watch this entire series, watch the movie to get the full picture.
04:20Watch the whole movie; it's about an hour and a half long. And well, after that, now, yes.
04:25Let's go chapter by chapter, analyzing the content of the film.
04:33So that you don't hesitate to watch it, don't think, as I was saying a moment ago, that you're going to find scenes
04:39As in other exorcism and demon films, this movie presents a dialogue between a
04:47psychiatrist and the possessed man, which develops within a high-pressure environment. It has no
04:55The exorcism scene isn't the point; that's not the issue. The only intense scene is the one where...
05:03It's at the end, but it's not about the exorcism, but about the electrocution of the prisoner. In my opinion,
05:11Quite unpleasant. If you skip it, no problem, just skip that scene. But only that scene.
05:20Because what follows is very important to understand that the devil has his time to attack. It's enough to
05:29that we give him access to our lives. And this, well, it doesn't have to do with whether we allow it or not, but
05:38that the devil will find a way to destroy us. It's not about possessing us. He really,
05:48As I've said before, he's not so much interested in possessing us, but in opening our hearts.
05:55life to him, in which we open our lives to him so that he may seduce us and thus go through our
06:00thought, leading us to lose our lives. Yes, that is, he gradually takes over, to the extent that
06:08As we carelessly attend to our spiritual life, He gradually takes possession of us.
06:15heart. It is therefore important to emphasize that the film and the book are not made for Catholics.
06:23not only for men, but for all men, for the devil's plan is not against the church. No
06:31It's not against the church, it's against humanity. The film itself deals with the reality of the devil.
06:39of his existence and the nefarious plan he has against humanity. A project in which he seeks
06:46To destroy him and steal what God gave him: love and happiness. The film begins by introducing the
06:55Two characters will take part. On one side is Edward, a prisoner possessed by a
07:03demon, who will be executed for the crimes he committed, which in reality were committed by the demon
07:10using his body, as this Edward continually seeks to express when he is not under possession. It was
07:18Done by the demon who took part, took possession of his body, and he is the one who carries out all of this. And so
07:27On the other side we have a psychiatrist named James, who, to avoid being executed, wants to prove that he
07:35What this prisoner actually has is a psychiatric problem. The psychiatrist presents himself as a
07:42an atheist person, and in this way the author lets us see in this character the atheist and pragmatic world in the
07:50that we live in. So when he tells her that the prisoner is a demon, well, obviously she doesn't believe it.
07:59Because it's the normal stance of many people who don't believe in anything, least of all in the existence of...
08:06demon. That is to say, this is the reality of the contemporary world. The psychiatrist James represents
08:15Anyone who doesn't believe or who has a vague belief but can hardly believe anymore
08:23Well, in the devil, in supernatural things. And I say this because we can say that even from the
08:31In the last century, the world in general denied it. In this sense, it is serious that this denial does not
08:39It is not only related to the lay world, but also includes, and it must be said sadly, some
08:47Members of the Catholic Church, of the Christian Church, Catholics and non-Catholics. And here it appears
08:55Another character will be one of the prison chaplains, who represents all the clergy that
09:02He no longer believes in the existence and influence of the devil on people. And that's a sad thing.
09:10It's something that the film presents, and obviously we can neither defend nor deny it.
09:18However, this denial, as is clear in the film, shows that the devil is a reality that exists.
09:25present in the Bible, both in the Old Testament and the New Testament. In the
09:30In the New Testament accounts, we can see how Jesus struggles against him. In fact, St. John, in his first
09:37The letter tells us that Jesus came precisely to destroy the works of the devil.
09:47On this topic of denying the existence of the devil, many seek to justify it by saying
09:53that the cases in which Jesus confronted the devil, well, that's not what an expulsion is,
10:02It's not an exorcism, but rather it heals him, because he had some psychological disorder or something like that.
10:10On the other hand, we have those who argue that the devil is just a creation to personify evil.
10:17or the good that belongs to superstitious beliefs that have no place in modern society.
10:24That's the argument the priest makes in the film; it's the priest's argument.
10:29I mean, well, if it existed, well, maybe it did, but the truth is, all this is more... the modern world is like, well, you're going to say, please, man, this is just not true anymore, I mean, who's going to believe it today?
10:42The priest says so, right? Who's going to believe in the devil anymore?
10:45However, and precisely for this reason, Pope Francis says, in his first catecheses, that whoever does not believe in the existence of the devil cannot even call himself a Christian.
10:59So, it's very important that we realize that this is a reality and that this is something that is happening today in our lives, in our church.
11:10And we cannot remain indifferent. It is important that we know this so that we can defend ourselves and fight against this enemy.
11:20We'll see you in our next video, in our next catechesis, to continue talking about Nefarious, the demon who reveals his plan to destroy us.
11:29See you soon. Until then.
