Especially when he calls him by his first name and drops hints about how close they used to be.

*** Then there's the fact that Purgatory is Catholic dogma, and thus wouldn't have been referenced by a member of the Greek Orthodox Wallachian nobility.
**** This Troper is still pretty sure you can't just vow your whole family into eternal Purgatory. Or even yourself, probably. (Incidentally, why ''would'' anyone do that?)
**** That could have been something to do with the fact that the Vatican was the headquarters for the monster hunters.
** Also, friars ''are'' bound by vows of chastity. The only difference between a friar and a monk is that monks are cloistered. This is intentional, though; Friar Carl just made that up.
*** Well, he still uses that ruse on Van Helsing who should know the monastic organizations quite well, being raised in one. All Carl needed was to use the term 'novice' instead of 'friar' (which would have been quite appropriate for such an unruly yet [[GadgeteerGenius extremely competent]] character).

** Not to mention that after one of Carl's inventions blows up, after his repeated "Sorry!"s, someone can be heard saying "What in the name of Allah is wrong with you?"
*** To be fair, a lot of Christian Arabs refer to God as "Allah", it being the Arabic word for god.
** Granted, it's never actually stated that the HQ we see is the ''only'' hidden base that the Holy Order operates from. There could be others in places like Mecca.
** Additionally, the film basically basically assumes that the main setting for most the action is Catholic, when it is actually over 90% non-Catholic.

At least, that's the theory behind ''VanHelsing'' (2004), which stars Jackman as fabled [[Literature/{{Dracula}} vampire hunter Van Helsing]]. In this incarnation, he works as an agent of the Knights of the Holy Order in the Vatican to hunt down monsters and other abominations. Aiding him is Friar Carl, a slightly irreverent tinkerer and inventor that supplies him with the speciality equipment and comic relief he needs to take down the creatures of the night.
