The Path of the Righteous (2015)

Peter McRobbie: Father Lantom

Quotes 

• Father Lantom : I have a pretty good idea who you are and what you do. How you do it... That's something else entirely.

  Matt Murdock : Accident when I was a kid. Used to think it was God's will.

  Father Lantom : Used to?

  Matt Murdock : Yeah, he made each and every one of us with a purpose, didn't he? A reason for being?

  Father Lantom : I believe so, yes.

  Matt Murdock : Then why did he put the Devil in me? Why do I feel it in my heart and my soul clawing to be let out if that's not all part of God's plan?

  Father Lantom : Maybe you're being called to summon the better angels of your nature. Maybe that's the struggle you're feeling deep within you.

  Matt Murdock : And how do you know the angels and the Devil inside me aren't the same thing?

  Father Lantom : I don't, but nothing drives people to the church faster than the thought of the Devil snapping at their heels. Maybe that was God's plan all along, why he created him, allowed him to fall from grace to become a symbol to be feared warning to us all to tread the path of the righteous.
