I see no problem with that scene in "The Omen" at all. You just have to get into the film and think.
He is a holy man faced with the ultimate enemy, the coming apocalypse, he has lived in dread and fear for years. He knows what is happening when the storm lashes him.
And when he finds that even his church offers no sanctuary he is simply rooted to the spot, not just much in fear, but in defiant resignation.
He knows it's over. He knows he has been caught outside of the protective lifestyle he has led by taking the risk to warn Peck.
If he had stepped aside then lighting would have hit the brickwork where he moved to and crushed him...or whatever!
The film spends all it' time SHOWING you that your fate is determined when you are marked.
And that will never change until the very end of the final film with the destruction of Damian.
One of THE best horror films ever made.

Jesus FUCKING christ!!!..... Did you make "The omen" Freak? IDONTTHINKSO!! How the hell can you know what the priest was thinking? Did you talk to him before he died? NO? GET A GRIP, for heavens sake! If you have 5 second to make a move, the last thing you would do is to stand and wait for death to hit you (Final destination). I didnīt say that "The omen" was bad. I just said that the scene with the priest was hilarious and artificial. Donīt take everything so god damn personal, Freak.
You say itīs a good scene with depht obviously, and i say itīs artificial and hilarious. Now let...it...go, dude.
