Father David and “the Entity”
David struggled mightily with his decision to become a Catholic priest as his ordination approached, but he finally went through with it at the end of season two. But he has a new conundrum in season three: “the Entity,” which the Vatican would rather you not call its secret service branch. In fact, it would rather you not know anything at all about its doings—something that proves frustrating for David when he’s recruited by their phantom-like emissary (a self-described “friend of the Vatican”), who delights in sending him on missions as urgent as they are random. Despite its setting and the fact that David is one of its main characters, Evil’s view of the Catholic Church often emphasizes its negative aspects. As far as the Entity goes, are they good guys or bad guys or (more likely) occupying some nebulous gray area? Did David blow it by agreeing to join them? No doubt we’ll be pulling on this thread a lot more as the show progresses.
