Have you read Emmerich?

You may or may not be reading Emmerich. Her "visions" were transcribed by her secretary, who is widely believed to have embellished what she recounted.

That's why the Church has basically discounted these "visions" in its consideration of her canonization.

Yeah, I'm aware of that, but it's not what interests me here. I'm curious as to how much of Gibson's dramatic license was inspired by the "Dolorous Passion," whoever it was that wrote it.

I've seen the film twice, and while not everything in it comes straight from the Bible, I didn't notice anything in it that contradicts the Bible. Someone mentioned on another thread the timing of Jesus' trial before Caiaphus, and Peters denial of him three times. Not sure, I'll need to reread the Gosples before seeing it again.
