help Dogma FAQ
Why would Bartleby and Loki entering a church threaten existence?
The two fallen angels plan to use a plenary indulgence offered by a New Jersey church to erase their sins and return to Heaven. Because God has decreed their exile, proving that divine judgment can be overturned would negate God's infallibility and unravel creation.
Why is Bethany chosen to stop the angels?
Bethany Sloane is sent by the Metatron because she is the last living descendant of Jesus Christ. Linda Fiorentino plays Bethany, while Alan Rickman portrays the Metatron.
How does Dogma connect to Kevin Smith's other films?
Dogma belongs to Kevin Smith's View Askewniverse and includes Jay and Silent Bob, played by Jason Mewes and Smith. The fictional fast-food chain Mooby's and other shared references also appear across films such as Clerks II and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
Why was Dogma difficult to stream or buy for many years?
The film's rights were held personally by Bob and Harvey Weinstein rather than remaining with its original distributor, creating a long period without a standard digital release. Kevin Smith publicly discussed the rights problem while unauthorized uploads became a common way viewers encountered the film.
