Jesus was not Protestant
Jesus was not Catholic
Jesus was a Jew.. a Jew whose life was fulfilling Jewish prophecy.
His life, death (and Yes resurrection.. check out Josephus among others) is among the most documented historical set of events in history.
One can accept or not accept the veracity of history. The same with the acceptance of the faith/spiritual message. Scripture doesn't leave much room for interpretation - hmmmm( what????, then why is there disagreement??? over various facts).
But one thing the Bible is clear on is the need for unity & need for putting disputes behind getting the message of LIFE out.
Let's find common ground.
I am not of the catholic faith .. but I - as the Catholics, are Christian & I hope that Mel makes a fortune - to do with as he pleases - in our wonderful capitalistic America. IMHO The Lord will richly bless him for using his talents for so competently providing an avenue of evangelism, truth & Love.
God Bless ALL who partake in this rich experience.. whether to dispute, to satisfy curiosity, to revel in the faith or for any other reason. When God's message goes out, it does not return empty. Fight if you will.. but God ALWAYS wins.

Good thoughts Dolly. I hope that what can occur on FR and elsewhere regarding this film is constructive discussion, thoughtful consideration and
hopefully, finding of common ground or at least better understanding of one another others beliefs.
