The movie is a masterpiece - the fruits of which have been good and abundant. The Jewish leaders and our own Bishops owe Gibson and all Christians the world over an enormous apology.

Indeed. The fruits are just now starting to ripen. I'm hoping that with all the strong Marian imagery in the movie, many non-apostolic Christians will come to believe all that the Church has traditionally taught about the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Already happening and from what I can remember it began before the movie was in theaters. Earlier in the year I was at the Catholic Books store at the other end of town and the clerk was telling us how a few weeks prior about a dozen or so Baptist (yes that is right Baptist) were in the store buying rosaries and learning how to pray it properly.

By the way does anyone know who these Bishops are, and what diocese they serve. I know they are not SSPX but I do not recognize any of the names?
