Response to this post shows just how overboard people are taking this movie.

What I find lurking in the background is this... Catholics have been brought up with a rich background of statues and candles and artwork and are used to looking at these things as a visual reminder of Him... this movie is another one of those beautiful, visual reminders - but not the real thing.

I wonder if the problem is that maybe non-Catholics or non-High Anglicans or non-Missouri Synod Lutherans are coming from a more aesthetic background that eschews statues and artwork and other things like candles or altars or stations of the cross (the movie depicted the stations) or the rosary (the movie depicted the sorrowful mysteries of the rosary) and they are having a hard time separating artwork depicting Jesus with Jesus himself?

I know I am not wording this well, but what do you think?
