I agree with Slappy322 in the sense that Dogma may make fun of Catholics and even religion as a whole, but it reinforces a lot of basic ideologies such as belief in God and general faith. The movie MAY EVEN inspire people to look into some of the biblical references in the movie or re-evaluate their thoughts on some of these touchy issues. The
US Catholic Conference rates the film "O: Morally Offensive" and the first reason they list is "anti-religious buffoonery". Anti-religious is the last thing I would classify this film as. Unfortunately, many religious communities are very quick to condemn anything that question's their validity.
Dogma is an amazing movie! Kevin Smith = Badass.
