Subject: Re: Episode discussion:  For I Have Sinned

I'm not sure that the killer actually did anything that would be considered a
Confession (or, as Catholics prefer to call it today, a Reconciliation). The
most important component of Reconciliation is sorrow for one's sins; absolution
can't be granted without it. But one of the first things the killer says to Fr.
Rochefort is "I haven't sinned." Fr. Rochefort quite properly suspects that the
killer's very presence in the confessional suggests that he must be acting on
some inner prompting of his conscience. But what the killer actually does is
brag about how he's "purging God's church", and then he leaves quite abruptly
when Fr. Rochefort tells him that God doesn't want sinners to die, he wants
them to repent.

So I do wonder if Fr. Rochefort, being a bit of a rookie and naturally quite
rattled by the whole situation, doesn't realize that it's quite possible that
what happened was not actually a Confession. Therefore, he feels that it is
covered by the sacramental seal on confessions--and he didn't ask the older
priest the right questions (e.g. "Is everything said in a confessional
considered to be a Confession?") because of that. But the killer did not show
repentance (in fact, he was proud of his actions), did not receive absolution,
and one can be pretty confident that since he wasn't repentant, he didn't
perform any act of penance for his sins. So I have pretty serious doubts about
whether what he did would be a Confession, or simply talking to a priest who
happened to be in a confessional booth at the time. (For those who are
interested in the gory details, you can check out the Code of Canon Law on the
Sacrament of Penance beginning at
http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG1104/__P3E.HTM.)

On the other hand, had he shown any kind of remorse for the murders he had
already committed, and distress at even contemplating a fourth killing, the
situation would be quite different. In such a situation, a priest would probably
advise the murderer to turn himself in to police as his act of repentance.

Your humble & obedient servant,

Forever Knight The Trilogy: Part 3 on DVD October 3
               Posted By: Michael / Source

Creator James Parriott (TV's "Grey's Anatomy") unleashes the undead for the
last time when Forever Knight The Trilogy: Part Three, debuts on DVD October 3
from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.  The TV series stars Geraint Wyn Davies
(TV's "24") as Nick Knight, a stylish and sexy 13th-century vampire working
as a police detective in modern-day Toronto in order to atone for the sins of
his past.   Also starring is Catherine Disher (TV's "Murder in the Hamptons")
as Natalie, the forensic pathologist who keeps Nick's secret while battling
his nemesis Lacroix (Nigel Bennett from The Skulls) to gain back Nick's
immortal soul.  Fans can now complete their collection with this five-disc boxed set
featuring all 22 episodes from the series' electrifying final season.  The DVD
will be priced at $59.95 SLP.
  In 2004, Forever Knight was included on TV Guide's list of the Top 25 Cult
TV Shows of All Time. The series debuted on CBS August 1, 1992, as part of an
innovative new programming schedule dubbed "Crimetime after Primetime."  Despite
the fervor of its fans, the series was temporarily cancelled after its first
season when the network acquired Late Night with David Letterman.  Following an
aggressive letter-writing campaign, the series returned in syndication for its
second and third seasons.  The series continues to have a strong following among
fans, with numerous websites devoted to deconstructing its mythology and
creating new stories based on the original characters.  Three novels were written
based on the series: A Stirring of Dust by Susan Sizemore, Intimations of
Mortality by Susan Garrett, and These Our Revels by Anne Hathaway Nayne.  Over the
course of its three season run, the series was nominated for 14 Gemini Awards®
(the Canadian equivalent of the Emmy®),
 including a win for Bennett as Best Supporting Actor.  For this season, the
show was nominated for Best Dramatic Series and Best Original Music Score.
  Forever Knight The Trilogy: Part Three introduces a new supporting cast of
characters. While Nick and his eternal nemesis Lacroix are still at each
others' throats, a new police captain, Joe Reese (Blu Mankuma), takes over the 96th
Precinct night shift and Nick has a new partner, Tracy Vetter (Lisa Ryder from
TV's "Andromeda"), who becomes romantically involved with the new vampire in
town, Javier Vachon (Ben Bass from TV's "Queer as Folk").  Other highlights of
the final season include tricky murder investigations, spiritual healers, Nick
catching a bullet in the head, and a demonic dog.
