The catholics are saying it is a "wonderful depiction of the Blessed Mothers ROLE in our Redemption"
The saint ( I forget her name right now ) that comes out to wipe Jesus face is a story from the Apocrypha miraculously (in this well known story to the RC faithful) the face of Jesus ends up impressed on this shroud.
I read some catholic posts about how it was faithful to the stations of the cross. If all this is going on at a sub level does that mean the viewers are participating in the 14 stations?
The story movie draws from the mystic visionary German Nun Emmerich. The script was developed by a Roman catholic priest. Sounds too religious for me. Why do I need celluloid when I have the Holy Scriptures that will never lead me astray?

You cannot miss the catholic slant to this movie. Way too much Mary; no Joseph of Aramethea or Nicodemas. Ne veil in the temple being torn, or a few other things I would have shown, but still the best movie in town. I'm glad I went. You will be too.Terryrom: Judy TaylorSent: Saturday, February 28, 2004 8:52 PMSubject: [TruthTalk] The passion of ChristThanks for sharing your perspective Terry,I've been hearing so much about this movie and presently have mixed feelings about it. Our daughter got tickets for our whole family so I will be going next Saturday; I've read about the making of the movie. Apparently Mel Gibson is a devout RC and he was influenced by a mystic nun in writing the script. They had latin mass on the set every day and claim that miraculous things took place while they were making the movie. The man who plays Jesus is also a devout RC who prays to Mary - he and his wife are involved with the Metagorje apparitions.
