COOPER&BURNETT Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'd agree with that.But I'm not 100% convinced that Castillo converted to Buddhism. Just my opinion.You know, I'm not convinced either! So far, there is no hard evidence showing what he is or isn't. He seems to know a few priests though....With Castillo...who knows!

Guest The Talk Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 There was definitely a priest at the ceremony.Additionally there is another clue:A woman (I guess it's Larry's mother - as Castillo holds her hand) has a rosary in her hand. This is a very catholic item.Does someone knows anything about the church/mortuary the ceremony took place at? (There is nothing mentioned in the glossary) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a priest. But to me this would be a hint that Angelina was Catholic. Not necessarily a hint for Rico.I do not know the difference what Protestant pastors wear and what Catholic priests wear. But I think this tippet is typical Catholic.Seems to be the same priest (actor) as at Zito's funeral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOPER&BURNETT Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I think it's the same priest like you said.One again, your screen capture proof really helps make this thread quite an exciting, educational, and fun thread.Your really helping to make a case for which religions the characters are.A picture is worth a thousand words!

Christine Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I think one proof for that Tubbs is a catholic is the scene where he´s sitting half on his desk, reading in a bible. And remember the scene in Smuggler´s Blues when he´s on the boat after Lieutenenat Jones, the blackmailer, was killed. He saw the black cloud rising into the sky, thought that Trudy, Sonny, and Sam were dead. When he heard Sonny´s voice in his ear, he crossed himself. That´s a very catholic sign.

He even said while crossing himself ("SANTA MARIA MODIOSE"). I don't think it's too unusual for the characters to be Catholic, as there is an extremely high percentage of U.S. citizens that are Catholic, so the odds seem to be in thier favor.

Lar Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'd say we have solidly pegged Crockett, Tubbs, Zito, and Gina (who was a no-brainer) as Catholic. Castillo, on the other hand, is still more or less a mystery. (Does anyone have pics of Crockett's and Caitlin's wedding? Unfortunately, there are no pics of the Priest in the glossary's photos for "Like A Hurricane").So, that just leaves Switek and Gina. Did we ever get any clues as to those two?

Lar Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Thanks! There was a Priest there, or at least a collared pastor. A wedding could've been done in whatever Caitlin's respective denomination is (well, was), but it's still another possible clue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lar Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 It's a Pastel Priest! Fr. Armani?Unfortunately, it's impossible to tell if he's Catholic or Protestant. Caitlin was Scottish (or at least Sheena Easton was), and that's a mainly Protestant country, so it may have been a Protestant service for her. Remember, if Sonny was Catholic, he was divorced from Caroline, and while divorce is not unheard of in the Catholic Church, there are certain circumstances for an annulment, and they may have been out of Sonny's reach. My knowledge on divorce and annulments in Catholocism is a bit hazy, but that's how I understand it. Correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COOPER&BURNETT Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Ok' date=' I don't understand? Why are we talking about religions in Miami Vice? Please explain...[/quote']This is a thread about what religions the shows writers gave to the fictional characters, as many were not said outright on the show, but the characters do have a back history. Small mentions, and props have given clues.We are just examining the clues, and piecing it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lar Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I for one always get a kick out of discovering the various religions of any fictional character I like. Not because it will influence my liking the character (a cool character is a cool character), but rather because you can see how their faith (if any) influences their decisions, actions, etc. (if at all). It adds a more human, realistic touch to our on-screen heroes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjcmmv Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Crockett, Tubbs CatholicLOL Father Armani! I love it!!!Annulments are tough to get. To put it very simply, you have to prove somehow there never was a marriage in the true sense. So that answers the question about Father "Armani". He couldn't be a Catholic Priest because priests aren't allowed to marry divorced Catholics. He must be a minister. Correct me if I'm old fashioned here. It's been a long time since I read Catholic doctrine. Great stuff everyone. The clues are terrific. It's a Pastel Priest! Fr.

agent 47 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hey, Coop, this probably has been mentioned a long time ago but I saw Tubbs reading the bible on his desk in Cool Runnin' an hour ago.(the awesome power of DVD, proof that God loves us, if you don't believe in God, sorry for this last line.) If it's been said before, whoops, my bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
