It's kind of the same phenomenon where you see Catholic religious in movies depicted on the more conservative NO-traditional end of things rather than the Pastor Bob of the Novus Ordo Mass Center that is widespread.

The Conjuring films come to mind in this regard (which I honestly really enjoy), but I also know that the Warrens were more traddies than NO in reality anyway.
So does Whoopi Goldberg in Sister Act.  How convincing would it have been for her to dress like Sister Joan Chittister or Sister Helen Prejean?

That's not what people go to movies for.

Weird... that's a very specialized thing that you wouldn't really know about unless you are in the in-group.

That group is pre-Vatican II Catholic theology and commentary on Scripture from a specific priest in a specific time. Methinks they needed something Catholic-looking.
No... just a photographic memory and an eye for detail.  (And, no, I'm not autistic or an Aspie.  I just notice stuff.)

I've heard these people's name on here before, and I didn't really know much about them, but I looked up their entry on Wikipedia, and what I read was completely crazy:

Quote
The Warrens were American paranormal investigators and authors associated with prominent cases of alleged hauntings. Edward was a self-taught and self-professed demonologist, author, and lecturer. Lorraine professed to be clairvoyant and a light trance medium who worked closely with her husband.

In 1952, the Warrens founded the New England Society for Psychic Research (NESPR), the oldest ghost hunting group in New England.[4] They authored many books about the paranormal and about their private investigations into various reports of paranormal activity. They claimed to have investigated well over 10,000 cases during their caree


These people operated in the fifties?!! I can't imagine how a couple of laypeople could go around claiming to be psychic and tangling with demons and so on could have avoided being barred from the sacraments or even placed under interdict in the fifties for publicly promoting superstition and such erroneous theological ideas.

Does anyone know if they practiced the Faith and received the sacraments before Vatican 2?!

Is it really that surprising? Vatican 2 didn't occur overnight, most clergy were weak in faith and the laypeople also, the Fr. Feeney case comes to mind, a lot of misinformation all because he first stood up for the dogma EENS.

It really is fascinating to me to see the level of fanaticism in the Feeneyite mind. Here I just asked about some mediums in the fifties who seemingly claimed to be Catholic, and was curious if they practiced the Faith, and all I get in response is more endless grievances about Leonard Feeney.
