One of the main underlying themes of this series is Matt Murdock's spiritual journey based on his Catholic faith.

{{Quote box
| quote = One of the interesting things about the show is that it takes Matt’s faith seriously, which allows his worldview to weave around those of his more secular friends. In Matt’s worldview, he was blinded and gained superpowers so that he would be able to fight injustice for God. In his worldview, his spiritual state is more important than his physical, hence why he doesn’t mind getting kicked around and beaten up in the course of making New York a better place. When we met him in season one Matt sat in a confessional, speaking to Father Paul Lantom, asking forgiveness for violence he hadn’t committed yet.

===Script===
'''MATT MURDOCK:''' Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It's been, It's been too long since my last confession. My dad, he used to come to this church back when I was a kid. He was a fighter. Old school. Boxer. Lost more than he won. Had a 24-31 record before he, uh But he could take a punch. Jesus, he could take a punch.
'''FATHER LANTOM:''' Language.
'''MATT MURDOCK:''' Sorry, Father. Yeah, guys he went up against used to say it was like hitting oak. And nights when he was outmatched, my dad's strategy was to let 'em hit him till they broke their hands. (Chuckles) He never got knocked out, my dad. Knocked down, sure. But he always got back up. He was always on his feet when he lost. Every now and then, though, every now and then, he'd get hit and something inside of him would snap. My grandmother, she was the real Catholic. Fear of God ran deep. You'd have liked her. She used to say, "Be careful of the Murdock boys. They got the devil in 'em." (Chuckles) And you'd see it sometimes in the ring. His eyes would go dead and he'd start walking forward real slow hands at his sides, like he wasn't afraid of anything. (Sighs) And the other guy, he'd see that look, and he'd try to get away from him. Nah. My dad, he'd catch him and trap him in the corner. Let the devil out. Yeah. Now, I didn't understand it, you know? What he was feeling deep inside, I didn't understand it. Not back then.
'''FATHER LANTOM:''' But you understand it now? Perhaps this would be easier if you tell me what you've done.
'''MATT MURDOCK:''' I'm not seeking penance for what I've done, Father. I'm asking forgiveness for what I'm about to do.
'''FATHER LANTOM:''' That's not how this works. What exactly are you going to do?
