Bible Question:
Should we thank the Catholic church nor for "The Passion of the Christ"? Somehow, it seems now that it had to happen. That is the way that Catholics do things. This is not meant to be an offensive statement but I think that only a Catholic could have made that movie. I do not kow for sure what I am saying here. My parents were Catholic and I attended a Catholic school. All I will say is that, as a child, I found the pictures on the wall and the "Stations of the Cross" really frightening. I stayed away from them. Now I find I have not seen the movie. If I do see it the reason would be that it enables me to talk about it. It is my impression that only Catholics have been referring to the sufferings of Christ as a "Passion". With that and the movie itself, are they not making a unique contribution to Christianity? |
Bible Answer: Stereotyping is dangerous ... While Mel Gibson is a Roman Catholic and it has influenced his life and thinking ... if I were smart enough, I would do something like it, too. My desire is to write about His last 2 days ... and His resurrection ... from the view of the Roman soldier who nailed His right hand to the cross, who is a follower of the Lamb ... and now other soldiers at the key scenes ... plus, the Garden with Him alone. |
