You might be surprised, but this is one of my favorite episodes, although it's not one I would recommend to anyone as a "best of" The X-Files or an episode to try to get them into the show. Also, you don't have to be religious or even spiritual to enjoy it, but of course, it's a matter of taste, and the episode is indeed a bit confusing. So allow me to explain. Basically, what Scully is being told by her own priest about it all just being a "story" and not true / not recognized by the church, is actually shown to be true in the episode, and not just a figment of her imagination. The social worker was a demon / represented the devil. The priest who used the upside down cross was a good guy, trying to save the girls' souls from being taken by the devil. The Seraphim saved the girls, including the last, fourth girl. When you see them "dead" with their eyes burnt out, their souls were actually saved. The demon guy, perhaps even representing the devil himself here, was after their souls, but the priest (who was burnt to death by him later) was unaware that there was a higher force - in this case the Seraphim - who was saving the girls. He was assuming that all the girls who were already dead had been taken by the devil, when in fact they had been saved. Hence his confusion, when the social worker (demon/devil) asks him where the fourth girl is, and that he "will not be denied again this time". So the priest answers "but you took the others", after which the demon replies "the other were taken FROM me, I will not allow that to happen again." It is indeed confusing, but I believe you'll understand it now. Basically, the priest thought that these girls, who are basically Nephilim, angels who weren't meant to be, were being taken by the devil, and he was trying to save them... unaware that the "Seraphim" has actually saved them and prevented the devil from taking them. So it's actually a positive ending, as all the four souls of the girls were saved in the end. It's definitely not an episode for everyone. Another confusing element is the fact that in the opening sequence, they appeared to use the same actor who plays Father Gregory, to also play the Seraphim. Later we see the Seraphim (when Scully sees him) being played by a different actor, but at the beginning it appears to be the actor who plays the priest, so this adds unnecessary confusion. It's a confusing, but IMO great episode. Of course, as always, a matter of taste. I know you don't like these sorts of episodes, but I had the impression that you did not strongly dislike it like you did "Miracle Man" from season one for example. In this case, the biggest problem was how complex it was to figure out what is going on, who the good and evil forces are, or the good and bad guys. Hope this helps!
