Midnight Mass Episode 5 Reaction

Since I meant to comment this before, I’ll say this now. Paul/Pruitt saying that Joe was “beyond saving” is particularly twisted. Joe came to ‘Father Paul’ that night so that he would stay sober. Joe was trying to be better, and that’s not someone beyond saving. But Pruitt is convinced. He doesn’t feel guilt so it must have been a good act, an act driven by God. Because the alternative? That he murdered and ate Joe just because he was hungry, is undoubtedly monstrous. So he can’t acknowledge the truth of it. He didn’t kill Joe, God acted through him and called Joe home through Pruitt as his vessel. So it has to be good, because this was God’s will and God is good. And Pruitt’s story about the mouse says so much about him and the way he thinks about his beliefs. It doesn’t matter that the facts say something else entirely. It doesn’t matter that Pruitt killed a mouse and caught another to use to lie to Riley: the fact that this lie sustained Riley’s belief confirmed to Pruitt that it was a Godly act. And he’s been lying to everyone since he got back.
