Im no catholic apologist, but Mel the Catholic, made and financed a movie about the topic, and it has a Catholic viewpoint? Shocking!

I think the Mary mind-meld scenes were appalling.

That alone killed it for me, not to mention all of the other extra-biblical inventions incorporated into it.

No one gets bent out of shape over The Song of Bernadette or Going My Way. I guess saints and singing priests are (or were) OK. It's beyond me why anyone would criticize a Roman Catholic director for the "catholic feel" of his cinematic masterpiece passion play, a traditional feature of Lent in Catholic countries.

Not at all shocking. Nor is the fact that it would therefore diverge from the Bible at times.
