I saw the interview he did on EWTN last year when he was filming and it was incredible. He is a very humble individual. And in his profession, that's a welcome quality! I pray for him.

From what I've heard of Raymond Orroyo when he was interviewed for comments about the movie itself, he said that he had the pleasure of going to Italy and sitting behind the scenes next to Mel Gibson watching the filming of the movie. I'm certain this interview will be fun to watch.
I'm not even a Catholic and I plan to watch this.

How about this tidbit that came out in the interview.
One of the e-mails during the Q&A section of the show. There was an email in regard to last night's Hardball, they had on a Bishop who called The Passion, pornographic and said that in the movie Jesus never said, Father forgive them for they know not what they do.
The response was really quite interesting. First Raymond Arroyo, commented that the same bishop has written several novel, that are rather pornographic in nature. As to the lines spoken in the movie. Jim Caviezel was somewhat taken aback, saying he does not know where the Bishop was but Father forgive them, was actually used three times during the movie. Once while being nailed to the cross, another time on the cross, he did not mention the third place it was used.

Yeah--a good guy.
And he blew Leno right into the next county with his offhanded response to Leno's question: "SOOOOO, you get the part of Jesus. And just how did you prepare for, ah, this, ah....????"
Caviezel: "Well, I went home and practiced walking across my pool twice a day."
Deadpan delivery. Leno was smacked up, and he knew it.
Good guy, yea.

Bump!
Also, check out the Catholic League's web site (www.catholicleague.org). There's an excellent paragraph or two, whaling on the critics. First the critics said the movie was anti-Semitic. Then, when everybody started going to actually SEE the movie, they could no longer get away with THAT lie. So they immediately wheeled out lie #2, that the violence was actually pornographic.
Man, what the pointy-heads won't do in their desperation in getting somebody - anybody - to take them seriously.

There was an email in regard to last night's Hardball, they had on a Bishop who called The Passion, pornographic and said that in the movie Jesus never said, Father forgive them for they know not what they do. That was NO bishop ;-D The person Raymond Arroyo was referring to is Fr. Andrew Greeley, a very 'controversial' Catholic priest who has authored some risque books. He is a member of the more radical, liberal element of the Catholic Church who would like nothing better than to see the church change its stance on female ordination, abortion, contraception, and gay marriage. Since that will NEVER happen, he then becomes a good friend to the liberal media who project his views as being those of the Catholic Church. Hence, Raymond Arroyo's reaction to the question.

Well thank God that he is not a Bishop. Sorry for the error and ^5's to Raymond for mentioning the part about his novels.

Did anyone catch the bishop's name?

Wasn't Greely fired from Notre Dame some years ago?

There's an excellent paragraph or two, whaling on the critics. Thanks for the link! You must be referring to this ...
March 5, 2004 CRITICS SEE PORN AND S&M IN THE PASSION The following quotes are from the critics of The Passion of the Christ: Rev. Andrew Greeley calls it sadomasochistic and pornographic. Christopher Hitchens dubs it an exercise in lurid sadomasochism. Ex-priest John Dominic Crossan labels it pornographic. David Edelstein of Slate finds it an exercise in sadomasochism. Rabbi James Rudin brands it a sadomasochistic film. David Denby of The New Yorker opines Its extremely sadistic. Jonathan Foreman of the New York Post says its pornographic. A.O. Scott of the New York Times sees it as high-minded sadomasochism. Andrew Sullivan was shocked to find it pornographic. Rev. Michael Coffey, a Lutheran minister, says its pornographic. David Ansen of Newsweek screams Its the sadism thats troubling. Jamie Bernard of the Daily News notes it would horrify the regulars at an S&M club. Ex-priest James Carroll sees the film as nothing but pornographic. Leon Wieseltier of the New Republic dubs it a repulsive masochistic fantasy, a sacred snuff film. Harvard professor Daniel Jonah Goldhagen was aghast at the sadomasochistic, orgiastic display and its unremitting sadism. Charles Krauthammer of the Washington Post calls it the most unremitting sadism in the history of film. Bill Safire in the New York Times complains of its sustained sadism. Al Neuharth of USA TODAY calls it a wasted exercise in sadomasochism. Catholic League president William Donohue responds as follows:
Christians need to take note of this mental goose-stepping, but they should also note that none of these savants found Schindlers List to be pornographic. What they find pornographic is the scourging and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. No doubt for some of them, the New Testament classifies as pornography as well. Indeed that is exactly what a Brooklyn rabbi told me to my face. At least now its out in the open.

Some time ago, I became pissed off at the Catholic Church I was attending. So I went elsewhere. I went to the San Fernando Mission for a service. The Priest was also a Monk who raised Hell during his Sermon. Studious as he was, people actually clapped when he got down to the basics of our existence and description of normal life. He had to move on up the coast to other missions as a Monk. That's where I go to Church now. 150 year-old pews and all.
