Thankyou for your response Father.
I dont think Ill be seeing this film. I cant see how it can help any of us. Do we rush out to buy the latest Roman Catholic book about one individuals vision of Christs passion, who claims the Holy Spirit is working through him? If this were a book, not a movie, we wouldnt even be discussing it, we would dismiss it straight away and we would have to dismiss it because it is outside the Church but claims to speak for the Church. This is what people outside of the Orthodox way feed themselves and each other on, we dont need that and maybe it might harm us. But I dont know really.
One thing I will add. I went to the website for the film, and I was looking at the information on the different actors. It says how the actress that plays Mary Magdalene appeared in a lingerie television commercial and it says that in this commercial she sent pulses racing throughout the world.
O.K, Im not trying to make a big moral statement or anything, but do these people really get it? Will my pulse race in a similar way while I witness the brutal R rated scenes of a guy dressed like Jesus having his face smashed in, or is it a different sort of pulse race?
