    Not even when I was new to Ordus did I like the series, I always found it strange, but after I researched it, my god, heresies, heresies and heresies!
    It's worse to discover that Bishop Robert Barron worked on the series!:facepalm::facepalm:

    • Why watch any tv?  

    Most tv shows are garbage.  There is far worse than the Chosen.   How many Christians watch soap operas and tv shows like Charmed, Lucifer, Dark shadows etc

    • It’s a tv show about the apostles of Jesus.

    • I have never seen any movie about Christ's life in the English language where Christ mentions "hell" even once. That's why I avoid most movie's about Christ's life as a rule of thumb.

    If The Chosen is anything like every other movie about Christ in the English language where Christ's teachings are absolutely watered-down, then I'd probably hate it. However, if it's the first movie in the English language that actually shows Christ mention "hell" (even if it's just once), then The Chosen is miles ahead of most movies of its kind.

    • Supposedly there was an episode a few months ago (I didn't see it, I only read about it) in which the script writers decided the thing to do was to have Mary Magdalene give the meal benediction... with both Our Lord and her brother Lazarus seated at the table. :facepalm:

    Maybe most viewers, prot or not, are too un-catechized to notice the many heresies, but a scene like this, willfully or not, encourages the feminist dingbats who presume way too much about St. Paul's mention of Phebe in Romans 16:1. :smirk:

    This.  We tend to watch old shows on DVD.  I gave up on TV a long time ago.

    • What are some major heresies taught/promoted by the chosen? I've generally liked the show (again, I'm not watching for an education in theology) and other than Mary briefly mentioning that she experienced pain giving birth to Jesus, I haven't noticed, off the top of my head, anything I'd say is heretical. Historically/culturally inaccurate in some cases, sure. 

    After seeing the trailer for season 4, I am a little concerned based on one line but I'll just need to wait and see the context it's used in.

    Well, even pain during childbirth is possible if Our Lady offered to accept it.  Without Original Sin, both Our Lord and Our Lady were also not subject to death and suffering in general, but both most certainly experienced both.

    • The False Christ of The Chosen

    Christology matters. Reject the false "Jesus" of The Chosen

    Apparently these are by the same author.  When I came across the later article, I initially assumed I was finding a different source with the same opinion.

    Here's a different author:

    The Chosen TV show does more harm than good for spread of Gospel message

    Mary Magdalene’s brother isn’t Lazarus.  Lazarus is brother to Martha and a different Mary.

    • Most of the tv shows are far worse like murder, adultery, sodomy, orgies, violence etc.

    Mary Magdalene’s brother isn’t Lazarus.  Lazarus is brother to Martha and a different Mary.
    Traditionally, in the West/Latin church those 3 Marys were considered the same person. The Greeks and Protestants consider her to be 3 or 2 different people.
     
    https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09761a.htm

    In 1969, when the Church changed the Calendar there were     two feasts: Mary Magdalene was still on 22 July, while Mary of Bethany was is celebrated as a separate saint, along with her siblings Lazarus and Martha on 29 July.

    The older idea as being the same Mary was held by Tertullian, Gregory the Great, Augustine of Hippo, Bede the Venerable, Anselm of Canterbury, Thomas Aquinas, Catherine of Siena, Thomas More, John Fisher, Teresa of Ávila, John of the Cross, Francis de Sales, among others.

    Of course, there is a lot of rot on TV, so it's best avoided altogether.  But I would say that, for example, murder on a murder mystery, which is seen as bad & punished in the end, is far less harmful than this false depiction of Our Lord & the Gospels on The Chosen.

    Thank you so much.  Is Mary Magdalene the woman that was almost stoned?
