Interestingly enough, if you read post 19, you will see that a priest actually did receive a response from an e-mail to the Diocese of Cleveland:

Enter another reader, a priest from the state of Washington. Yesterday, he emailed the various Cleveland chancery officials noted in the original post, citing the above-quoted sentences, and asking, "is this true?"

He received a reply from Father Lawrence Jurcak, who appears from the diocese's web site to be the recently-named Secretary and Vicar for Clergy and Religious. He forwarded the correspondence to me. Fr. Jurcak's reply read:

You details are not true at all. There is no "warning issued by the Diocese" about not seeing The Passion of the Christ."

You the man.

I assume they're cancelling Palm Sunday and Good Friday Services, because the Passion story would be read?

Here is another story that may interest you.

Some very enlightening information on Sister Mary Boys, who not only hates Mel Gibson and "The Passion of the Christ," but (surprise, surprise) also is linked to Call to Action and support Women Priestesses.

SR. MARY BOYS AND ANTI-SEMITISM

Check out Brother Solanus's evaluation of a program being presented to address the anti-Semitism "fostered" by The Passion of the Christ. You know, that (non-existent) anti-Semitism that are are all sharing.

Here is the way that Paul Likoudis characterizes Sr. Mary Boys in a report on Cardinal Mahony's Religious Education congress 2001, "A Parold of Faith":

More Dysfunction

Other speakers at the congress include:

- Sr. Mary Boys of Union Theological Seminary in New York, Call to Action activist, proponent of women's ordination to the priesthood, and a signer of the April 29, 2000 Madeleva Manifesto "envisioning a church future beyond patriarchal domination."
