Jesus only spoke Latin in Passion of the Christ?
No, I remember discussions of Aramaic when the movie came out.
The script was written in English by Gibson and Benedict Fitzgerald, then translated by William Fulco, S.J., a professor at Loyola Marymount University, into Latin, reconstructed Aramaic and Hebrew.

I don’t care what language Jesus spoke. For me I was disappointed that the Pontiff thought the security wall was there for the same reason the Berlin wall was put up by the Soviets.
Nothing could be further from the truth. For years Palestinian Arabs would enter Israel to blow themselves up or plant bombs to blow up buses and crowded places where Jews would be killed. Also many times if it was not a bombing they attacked with small arms and handguns.
The security wall is mostly fences, but in some particularly vulnerable places where attack before happened the Israelis have built concrete walls. These walls as Netanyahu pointed out to the Pontiff have saved thousands of lives both Jewish Israelis and Arab Israelis as well as Christians.
I would have thought a brilliant and worldly man that the Pontiff is would have not have realized that Israel lives in a dangerous neighborhood since 1948.
