Put Archbishop Donoghue of Atlanta on the list:

Archbishop Urges Catholics to See The Passion

I believe that all people should see this film. And as your bishop, I would urge all Catholics of the Archdiocese of Atlanta to see this film. But do not expect to view it objectively or without being changed. It will not leave you the same person you were before - you will never again not be able to picture the scope of our Lord's suffering, and the terrible price He paid in order to save us. And consequently, you will never again be able to think of yourself as being innocent, or only relatively involved in the events of His Passion. That is a result of the true artistry that Mel Gibson has brought to the production, along with the work of an amazing cast, and cinematography that elevates this film to a place among the greatest ever made. But most importantly, it is a result of Mel Gibson's faithful adherence to the words and the spirit of the Gospel.

I am very fond of your Archbishop and pray for him in my monthly cycle of prayers for bishops. He is not very well known beyond Atlanta it seems. But nonetheless I pray for him.

I also keep you and your family's entrance into the Catholic Church in my prayers.
