Mr. Gibson took a risk & used his own money to finance a film that was faithful to the Gospels. It is, in my opinion, a brutally realistic look at the last hours of Jesus.
From reading this, I am left with the impression that Mr. Gibson is a devout member of his religion and that he truly looks to God in his everyday life - it is not an act.
If this is intended to be a hit piece, if they are trying to make it appear that Mr. Gibson believes in God, prays, and celebrates Holy Mass in accordance with the Roman Catholic tradition... if that is the worst they can say about him - then, we are finally at a stage where the TRUTH is the worst thing you can say about a person.
On the off chance that Mr. Gibson might see this, let me just add the following:
Thank you. Your film truly touched me.

. . . celebrates Holy Mass in accordance with the Roman Catholic tradition . . . I like Mel's film, but he is not Catholic, he is part of tiny splinter group.
One of the fundamentals of Catholicism is that we don't leave over differences, we work them out or live with them, believing that god guides his church and that our perspective as creatures doesn't trump the the church.
