TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The Catholic Church in Ireland were very vocal about their views in having the film banned from theatrical distribution. The film censor disagreed and the film was released with an 18 certificate. This marked a major turning point in the relationship between the church and the Irish Film Censor board.

The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights were so outraged by the film's subject and its release date over the Easter weekend that they called for all their members to boycott anything Disney-related.

Director Antonia Bird was forced to cut a whole scene of Linus Roache's bare behind to ensure only an R rating in the USA, instead of a notorious NC-17.

Marsha Thomason's debut.

Robert Carlyle and Tom Wilkinson later appeared in The Full Monty (1997).

Popular Dialogues

"Father Greg Pilkington: [addressing Father Redstone in Latin] Abi et futue te ipsum, sordide senex. [Translation: Go fuck yourself, you dirty old man]"

"Father Greg Pilkington: When we were in seminary, it was a sort of standard question: a man tells you in confession that he's poisoned the altar wine. Do you still go out and say Mass? Now, I had no problem with that: I'd go out and say Mass, drink the wine. There's a bit of the martyr in all of us."
