Blasphemous Netflix show creator: ‘Being gay felt like demon possession’




Netflix is facing renewed accusations of anti-Catholicism over its upcoming eight-episode series The Body, premiering November 11. Written and directed by Quinn Shephard, the series reportedly portrays Catholic schoolgirls participating in a drug-fueled ritual to summon the devil alongside a sexually provocative Catholic priest, mockery of the Mass, and a satanic offering involving a holy virgin. The production goes beyond provocative entertainment. It deliberately uses Catholic symbols, sacred imagery, and religious practices in a degrading manner. A promotional image released around All Saints’ Day reportedly depicted characters dressed as mock patron saints, including one imitating Jesus Christ with a crown of thorns.


Netflix has produced a blasphemous anti-Catholic series, promoting it on social media with an image mocking Our Lord, Our Lady, and the saints.

Titled The Body, Netflix describes its new eight-episode series as a “coming-of-age drama” about “a badly behaved group of Catholic schoolgirls known for praying hard and sinning even harder.” It will be released on Wednesday, November 11.

“(T)he teens juggle their usual litany of Catholic high school activities: attending mass, practicing routines with their dance troupe … and potentially summoning the devil into their small town,” reads an article about the show on Netflix’s website.


“The coming-of-age drama, out on Netflix Nov. 11, features a dance-team initiation gone very wrong. Led by team captains Anya (Kristina Bogic) and Elise (Sara Boustany), the Lions perform a drug-fueled ritual on Grace (Sofia Wylie), their latest recruit,” it continues.

“What follows is pure chaos. Something highly suspicious is going on with Grace, terrifyingly strange ripple effects are felt throughout the school, and the Lions realize they have a major secret to bury.”

Netflix promoted the series with an All Saints’ Day post depicting five of the characters as mock saints with satirical titles. One even appears to imitate Jesus Christ wearing the crown of thorns.


We are demanding Netflix cancel the series, already attracting nearly 10,000 signatures. The petition argues that Netflix would not dare treat Judaism or Islam with similar contempt. Westen urges Catholics to consider cancelling their Netflix subscriptions, offer prayers of reparation, and pray the Holy Rosary for those involved and for young people who may encounter the series.

Catholics should not remain passive when their religious beliefs and sacred traditions are portrayed disrespectfully in mainstream entertainment. The series mocks Christ. It mocks the Mass. It mocks the saints. And Netflix is profiting. The question is whether Catholics will cancel their subscriptions or continue funding the mockery. The answer will determine whether Hollywood takes Catholic outrage seriously.
