It's because Catholic is the first church, (and the oldest)and also the name Catholic means universal church
Again ,in addition Catholic have the highest number of worshipers ,and is very popular, so the producer will definitely look for a subject/structure and will attract a lot of audience.
Before I forget ,I must say that except UK ,most development christian countries are Catholics ( making up to 70 to 90% of each population) , I have been to mexico and I know that 90% are raw Catholics.

Before I stop , permit me to ask these questions (1), why are Muslim/islamic countries used for acting terrorist movie (2), why are protestant churches used for acting immoral sex related movies ,and why are buddhism /hindi used for martial art movies

You just implemented Catholic Church.
If terrorism is associated to Muslim countries, Hindu/Buddha,,, Chinese martial act films.
Pentecostals,,,,sex and immoral acts, then Catholic is associated with demonic, horror, occultism, darkness, witchcraft and horrible dark idols.

I have noticed that whenever there's a horror film that involves a church, it's always a catholic church. It's always one dark, big catholic church with reverend fathers and nuns.

I have seen over hundred horror films acted in the catholic church and it makes me wonder why always catholic? I once saw a horror movie acted inside the Vatican with dead bodies buried in secret graves inside the Covent. In fact, catholic church has become the standard church for acting high selling horror films.

They hardly use pentecostal churches or anglican. Is it because the catholic church is the most spiritual church? Is it because it's the most powerful and richest church?


Many of the themes are drawn from true life experiences.

For instance, Stigmata and many exorcism based horror movies were influenced by the true life story of Anna Elisabeth "Anneliese" Michel.

Another reason may be the mystery surrounding the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church seems like a perfect location for horror movies. The exorcisms, the beliefs that the church is evil, the belief that a pope would be the Antichrist, etcetera, makes it quite easy to write a horror story around the Catholic Church.

It is only the Catholic Church that teaches exorcism to its seminarians (priests to be undergoing training)
So by default, a Catholic priest is also an exorcist. Another point I'd that the catholic mass has exorcism rites in it. If you have noticed, most of the successful exorcisms performed in the world are done by Catholic priests.

because Catholic is a demonic church!


by worshipping Mary and some Jesus status bring forth demonical influence in ya life.

try and watch the behavior of Catholic members! them don't progress in life and always having one demonic procession to another.


"They don't progress in life"? Lol.

I don't even know where to start replying you from. It's a tough job. Then "demonic procession"? Wow.

Before I begin, the last thing I'd do is take any Pentecostal serious. Why should I? The same churches that made fun of the Catholic church in the 70s/80s about our communion, saying it was demonic, but today offer communion under the guise of "Holy Communion Service". You have extraordinarily dull leaders. Men who don't know anything. Men who can't understand Christian Eschatology. Men who fleece you by deceiving you that God can only bless you when you give Him, and employ all sorts of blackmail to rid you of your earnings. Men who don't understand theology. Men who can't explain Christian philosophy. I tell you, you're being led by very dull individuals.

Now, the issue of "Catholics who don't progress". My my. Ever attended a Catholic fundraising? Or a Bazaar? You know how much it costs to build a Catholic church and furnish it with the right vessels and stuff? It's costing, and it all gets done by the people within a very short time. But I should be careful. When you say "progress", I don't understand the context it is being used. Do you mean in riches? That is a big fail. I could give you names of thousands of people to check with a healthy networth. Or do you mean in their studies? Family life? What exactly do you mean by progress? I have seen people come to the Catholic church at their lowest, and within months, years, you begin to see an increase. What other progress are you referring to?

"Demonic processions". Because at Paln Sunday, we take to the streets with palms after the manner of the Jews thousands of years ago welcoming Jesus into Jerusalem? Is that your definition of demonic? Or because in the last Sunday in November, we have a procession where we profess to the world that Christ is the King? Is that a crime?

The problem is you Pentecostals are too timid and unnecessarily shy. Catholics are not scared to profess their faith in whatever manner, by whatever means. We don't just believe in praying for hours and all that. We let the world know that Christianity has a lot to offer, and that Christ is truly King..

The issue with Mary, and worshipping of saints is something I won't address here. It's not something I can convince you otherwise of. I've been in that argument with lots of people. They never manage to get my point.

My advice? Attend a Catholic church and see things for yourself. Pick up a copy of the Catholic Doctrine for Cathecism, talk to a priest. Don't be scared to ask him any question at all. I assure you you'd get your answer. I can't possibly see what someone with a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy, and another one in Theology, with years of education and training would be scared of. Engage a priest. You won't be disappointed.

You shouldn't make up lies to pass your point.

One most notable feature about a Catholic church is that the Windows and doors are always open, except at night when they lock it. And again it depends on the location of the church. The reason why it's always open is so that someone can walk in at anytime and pray.

And the issue of "no Bible" is just stupid.

I have never seen any priest who has discouraged people not to come with Bibles. In fact, on the contrary, it is advisable because during mass, the priest makes mention of other passages not in the reading for that day. Being a Catholic has increased my knowledge of the Bible, I must say. Especially of the New Testament. Some passages are just stuck in my head.

You should stop lying. You hate the Catholic church (because people generally hate what they don't understand), that's fine. But don't be spreading lies and rubbish about the church.

If they succeed in bringing Catholic Church down ,then other churches is a workover for them , them too have discovered that when they bring a minor church down ,it's members won't quit rather they run back to there mother church Catholic ,and thats why Catholic kept on multipling .

It is because the history of Catholic Church is rooted in occultism. I’m not even joking, go and google it.
