As Kevin Smith celebrates the 25th anniversary of his film Dogma, he reflects on its themes of faith and religion through his unique storytelling lens. While Smith appreciates the film’s continued relevance, he identifies areas that exhibit age, particularly with the early CGI effects and a scene involving Cardinal Glick. He suggests that the character's failure to acknowledge the Catholic Church's grave mistakes, especially regarding sexual abuse, reflects a lack of awareness at the time of writing, prompting him to reconsider what other examples could be highlighted.
"During the tour, I realized those examples of Church mistakes were horrible, but I kept thinking, where's the third and even more heinous example?"
"I was like, 'Look, those two examples are absolutely horrible, but where's that third even more heinous example?' It feels like the filmmaker was being obtuse."
