Which is why Catholics aren't even required to believe any of these additions. However, none of the additions contradict Scripture, as far as I know, and some of them add quite a bit. I'm thinking of Mary wiping up Jesus' blood, for example. Other elements derive from Catholic Tradition, like the Stations of the Cross.

To make Christ's Passion into a movie it was necessary to add some extra-Scriptural dialogue. It seemed to me that Mel added as little as possible.

Of course, there are many many things not in the Bible. The prots could do well to look at the final verse of S. John's account of the Gospel.

"And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen." S. John 21, 25.
