Whether she considers Gibson to be Catholic or not is irrelevant. This movie is for ALL CHRISTIANS, not just Catholics.

I agree with you 100%.

That is why I am perplexed at her comments, basically "dismissing" him as though he weren't portraying a legitimate message?

She told me personally a few weeks ago, that the movie "did nothing" for her, disputed Mary wiping up the blood after the scouraging, and thought it far too violent and unrealistic.

Fine, to each their own about the "details." The message behind the movie speaks loud and clear, to ALL Christians.

God Bless!

You said, "Fine, to each their own about the details." God is very serious about "details". He gave us His Word for a reason. It is not something to be toyed with, or added to. We are specifically warned about adding to, or subtracting from it. I draw your attention to Deuteronomy 4:2; Deuteronomy 12:32; Proverbs 30:5-6, and Revelation 22:18-19. What we fail to acknowledge is that God is a Holy God and does not take lightly ANYONE messing with what He has spoken. NOONE is allowed to say "whatever" when it comes to the Word of God. I could never, in good conscience, ever recommend this movie to anyone. Gibson has added to and taken away from the Word of God for his own purposes.
