Marion Petrocell: The Kingdom of God is inside you, and all around you, not in buildings of wood and stone. Split a piece of wood and I am there; lift a stone and you will find me.
Trivia
After Frankie tears up the apartment, possessed by the priest, she goes to the bed and levitates in a cruciform position. During this scene, there is a quick, sweeping shot of the wall and, if you watch it in slow motion, you can see a wall of boxes of Ritz crackers. This is either an obvious endorsement or some kind of inside joke. See more...

Directed by Rupert Wainwright, starring Gabriel Byrne, Jonathan Pryce, Patricia Arquette (add more)
Continuity: In the scene where she received the wounds to her head she runs from the night-club back to her apartment where the priest is waiting for her. She runs down an alley and he pursues her. As he sets of his coat is buttoned-up, then as he goes down the alley it is undone, and as he comes round the corner to where she is hiding it is done up again.
Continuity: When Frankie (Patricia Arquette) returns to work after receiving the hand wounds, something catches her attention and she goes to the window to look at a mysterious woman. At one point, a group of doves burst from the ground to the right of the woman (from Frankie's view). if you look directly where the dove's come from, you can see the travelling cage they are released from. if you look a little more to the side, you can see a stage hand laying on the ground, shaking the cage so the doves will come out.
Visible crew/equipment: After Patricia Arquette has another attack in a nightclub, she runs down an alleyway, pursued by Gabriel Byrne. As she stands cornered, you can see the boom mike overhead in several shots.
Continuity: When Frankie is in the bathtub and is about to be stigmatized for the first time, (wrists), you can see she's wearing a nude colored bra. In the next underwater shot she is completely naked.
Continuity: After she receives the head wounds, the next scene she is on the roof of her apartment, she takes out the brown cloth and reads it again, and stands up, in this whole scene the head wounds are gone, in the next scene she is talking to the priest and the wounds are back again.
Continuity: In the apartment scene when she attacks him, just after they kiss, in one shot they are virtually touching, in the next they have jumped apart.
Continuity: In the cafe scene, watch the bottle of beer in Byrne's hand. When he says "alcohol was invented by monks", he lifts the bottle to take a drink. The camera cuts to a wide shot, and he is finishing a swallow of beer. In another shot he puts it down and you can faintly hear a "clink" as it touches the table. There is a cut to a shot of both of them, and Byrne is moving the bottle towards the table. As it touches, it clinks again.
Continuity: When Frankie lifts her bandages to show the priest her wounds, you see that there are no wounds, just blood.
Continuity: In the scene where the girl beats up Gabriel Byrne in her apartment, she throws him around the apartment into large shelves and through a plate glass window but he never seems to get cut.
Visible crew/equipment: In the beginning where Andrew is in the church taking pictures of the crying statue, right as the pigeons begin to fly from behind, you can see someone's hand in the bottom right corner making the birds fly on cue.
Continuity: In the scene in the subway, you see the train from the front two times, and it is a gray train, but you can also see a pole sticking out of the front window. When the train gets to the station, it is a red train.
