 FAIR: When Bethany is at Mass, the priest says, following the  homily, "Let us now rise for the recession of faith." The correct  wording is "Let us rise for the PROFESSION of faith," which is then  followed by the recital of the Apostles Creed. This was most likely  done to satirize and/or draw attention to the idea that peoples  faith had faltered at the time the film takes place (hence  "recession").
