Have you ever been violated by a Dark Priest?

Yes.  Even the name "Shaft" makes me giggle!
No.  WTF?  NO!  You sicko!!!
Umm.  I don't get it.

Wow, I come back from PAX-East to this nonsense?!?

Jesus Christ, I can't leave you kids alone for one weekend without hilarity ensuing.
Anyway, I just received a Private Message from Grim_Creeper saying he will not be returning to the forums.
Soooooo that's that.

I will go ahead and clean up this thread.

My final thought:
I always thought the Dark Priests
1. weren't Catholic
2. weren't even Christian
3. VIOLATED YOUR MIND, not your body.  Cecil_Kain's polls always say "I don't know, my mind was recently violated by a dark priest"

I don't see how Christianity/Catholicism comes into play, here.

Buuuuuut none of that matters now, I suppose.

I always liked the fanon theory that the reason for the "no belmonts until Julius" thing was because of Richter's (temporary) corruption, and the no-Belmont time was for the family to atone for this.   This does, of course, make Shaft the most successful individual Dracula minion (not counting Death).  He resurrected the big guy twice, corrupted a Belmont, and can't stay dead!  How did he come back in time for SOTN, anyway?

Well, if you noticed, in SotN he was transparent.  In other words, it appears that he's a ghost.  It would seem that Shaft is so deadicated to Dracula that he willingly serves him even after his death.

In terms of the "no Belmonts until Julius" thing, I think that it's possible that Richter actually used the vampire killer to kill any humans that invaded the castle.  People tend to bring up the fact the Christopher Belmont's son was brought over to Dracula's side in Belmont's Revenge, but I don't think that he killed anyone and didn't have the vampire killer.  Richter had it and it's possible that using it for evil corrupted the connection between the main Belmont bloodline and they needed to wait and atone for a century in order to return that connection to the way it was.  This is just a theory though.  If the Alucardvania and 1999 games are ever made, I would hope that they shed some light on this subject.

Christopher may have been corrupted, but he never fought Dracula and was never a Belmont "hero."  He was one of the many Belmonts in-between resurrections, and never even got ot use the Vampire Killer outside of training/beating the snot out of his dad.

That's just how I always saw it.

Christopher was never corrupted.  It was his son, whose name I forget.

Yeah, I meant Soleiyu, I just mistyped (hence the stuff about beating up his dad, Christopher).

So, is it "Soleil" ("sun") or a pun on "slay you," or both?
