We revisit films labeled “condemned” by the Legion of Decency and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, unpacking the outrage, the censorship, and the cultural shifts behind them. Whether you grew up with Catholic guilt or just love controversial cinema, this is where dirty movies meet film history.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/morally-offensive-7096551"},"episode":{"title":"Stigmata (1999): Bleeding Saints, Banned Scriptures and Billy Corgan","slug":"stigmata-1999-bleeding-saints-banned-scriptures-and-billy-corgan","published_at":"2025-08-08T19:22:12+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/morally-offensive-7096551/stigmata-1999-bleeding-saints-banned-scriptures-and-billy-corgan","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/morally-offensive-7096551","url":"https://www.morallyoffensive.com/e/stigmata1999_movie/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/q496cwsdj7u46df8/EP21-stigmata_mixdown.mp3","summary":"It’s 1999. Patricia Arquette is bleeding holy wounds in a rave bathroom. Gabriel Byrne is a hot Vatican investigator in denial. And Chumbawamba is playing in the background. For this chapter of Hot Priest Summer, we dive into Stigmata — the Catholic horror cult classic that mixes the Gospel of Thomas, Billy Corgan’s soundtrack, 90s fashion, and deep ex-Catholic trauma. We break down the film’s wild theology, the history of stigmatics like St. Francis and Padre Pio, and the Vatican’s problem with Gnostic gospels. With guest film teacher Christopher Hoppe and co-host Kevin from A24 On the Rocks.","meta_description":"It’s 1999. Patricia Arquette is bleeding holy wounds in a rave bathroom.
