I haven't been to church in a while but after seeing the Passion I recognized it right away. It is the same passion play put on in almost every Catholic Church in America.
It brings a very catholic view of Jesus to the screen.

In my parrish prominent members of the congregation played the parts. I remember my own father playing Caiaphus one year and King Herod another year. The message was that we killed Jesus. Each part of the play was designed to make the viewer examine his own conscience.

"The message was that we killed Jesus."

Right, but wrong tense. Every sin, every day crucifies Our Lord.
