Were there any liberties taken with the scripture?

What scripture? From the script I have read, it seems like much of the goings on mirror Catherine Emmerich's fantasies, rather than the actual Gospels, which I find annoying. I certainly don't put any special creedence in this one woman's imagination over that of the Apostles. In 3 of 5 Gospels Jesus does not carry his own cross. In all four of the Gospels details of the scourging are mentioned rather briefly. This is such a hugely important work...why so much reliance on an obscure German nun?
