Theology of the Boondock saints: Truth & Justice

We delve into the movie The Boondock Saints and its exploration of themes such as good versus evil, justice, and taking action against malevolence. Our discussion navigates how Hollywood blurred the line between good and evil. We examine the Christian perspective on combating evil and the inherent issues with vigilante justice. We also reflect on Hollywood's current depiction of these themes.

Throughout our conversation, we feature clips from the film to highlight the characters' motivations and actions. Together, we analyze the notions of justice, revenge, and the Christian response to evil. We also ponder the concept of Christians becoming vigilantes and taking justice into their own hands but ultimately affirm that it is God's role to enact justice.

We stressing the importance of loving our enemies and praying for those who persecute us. Our dialogue extends to portraying justice in popular culture, citing films like The Boondock Saints and Tombstone. We also tease on the Decadence literary movement and its link to the glorification of evil in contemporary society.
