Trivia

When Loki is seen for the first time, he convinces a nun to start living an atheist life. After the news report, when Loki and Bartleby are talking about passing through the arch, the same nun can be seen in the background walking out of a café, drunk, followed by a café employee who tries to take her pint of beer away from her. This is in the theatrical version and possibly original VHS releases: the Special Edition DVD oddly does not contain this footage. See more »

When Bartleby describes the Plenary Indulgence offered upon passing through the doorway of the Cathedral during Cardinal Glick's rededication ceremony, he states that by passing through the doorway "all their sins will be forgiven." Additionally, Grant Hicks describes plenary indulgence as a "clean slate." However, an indulgence is not the forgiveness of sins, it is the removal of the need for temporal punishment for sins that have already been forgiven through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, i.e. confession and absolution by a priest. The indulgence allows the removal of the need for punishment through penance in the current life, or through Purgatory in the world to come. See more »
