Supernatural is everywhere!!!!

So this evening I was at the Catholic Confirmation of a family member and I'm not especially religous, so there I was trying not to zone out when the Bishop mentions that Catholicism is a supernatural religion. My ears immediately prick up because, hey, he said 'supernatural.'

"Now," the Bishop continues, "when I say 'supernatural' I'm not talking about that television show I sometimes like to watch with the two boys who drive around fighting evil..." and I didn't really hear the next bit because I was too busy thinking, 'Oh my gosh!!! The Bishop watches Supernatural.' And 'I can't even go to a Confirmation without mention of Supernatural!! Supernatural is everywhere!' 

So, my night = made. :)

Yeah, SPN's version of God and angels and demons and Heaven and Hell is SO VERY different from the Biblical version that it's pretty much a non-issue for me. Mentally, it doesn't even fall in the same category, if that makes sense :P

I completely agree with what you're saying though about Heaven's turmoil representing religious issues here, too. One reason it touches me so much, really, is BECAUSE of my Christian background, and like - I see Cas's story as very much that of someone who's raised devout, then reaches adulthood and has to sort of discover for themselves what they believe. They discover that certain things they want to hold onto, and certain other things they don't believe to be true. They discover that some of the things they were taught weren't really based on the "Word of God" (as Cas discovered) and were in fact created by man (or by archangels, in Cas's situation).

I just find his story very moving as an allegory of a seeker on a faith journey, and that story really appeals to me. <3 :)

Yes exactly. That makes perfect sense. And Cas's story is definitely an allegory of a seeker on a faith journey! I can see why the Show would strike a chord with a person of faith... And Dean is sort of like a secular everyman; he doesn't believe in anything he can't see with his own eyes and he sins a lot, yet he is a selfless, giving person. Lots of meaty stuff, as you say... No wonder the Bishop likes the Show! :)
