I've seen enough adverts for this "hot nuns chase anti-Christ" to absolutely
forbid my daughter, who thought it looked intriguing, from watching it.
It's about as obscene as the talking Jesus, Mary and Moses poseable
Barbie-size
dolls. I think it's as much piggy-backing on the Left Behind series (don't
even get me started) and the DaVinci Code as anything, though. If the
Christian world would wake up, realize that the book of Revelations is a
profoundly
Kabbalistic Jewish text, probably written by an Essene, it would do worlds of
good for Christian theology.

Heather Havrilesky: Aimed at the Bible Belt and piggybacking on Schiavo
and the pope, NBC's creepy, pandering Revelations miniseries paints
nuns as heroes and rationalists as the bad guys. WaPo: The least we can
ask of the end of the world is that it be entertaining, writes Tom Shales.
