Other than the period clothing and cars, it’s really the most interesting thing about the show, its saving grace so to speak. The mysteries themselves are definitely at the silly/preposterous end of the spectrum. At that, I’m no theologian but the stories seem to have a tenuous relationship with Catholic doctrine. And surely the number of Catholics in that village in Gloucestershire is a ridiculously high percentage in a country that’s overwhelmingly C of E. It’s like a Catholic Hogsmeade.
