If Mr. Gibson does the Fatima movie, it won't be for the purpose of bringing protestants and Catholics together. I don't think that was his aim, either, in The Passion of the Christ.
I think Mr. Gibson wants to make films about things he feels strongly about, and he's wealthy enough to do whatever he wants.
As a Catholic, I look forward to any films he makes about his beliefs.
Exactly, if the protestants don't want to see it, let them stay away. No one is going to force them to see it. If Mel Gibson wanted to make more money he could make another Lethal Weapon. No, he wants to make another "Caravaggio". I can feel it in my bones... this subject will look absolutely, stunningly beautiful on film... I can't wait.
The Sun Moved In The Sky! Of course you know that, but the others may not. Ten Thousand People witnessed it. But that's the thing about miracles... no matter how many witness one half will convince themselves they didn't see it and the rest of the world will disbelieve anyway.
With all due respect, that's because he's inclined to do Catholic-friendly movies. The passion and resurrection of Christ appeal to all Christians, across the board, and is the essence of the gospel message. If he starts becoming sectarian, to make movies with topics that appeal only to Catholics, he certainly has the resources to do so (as you say), but he will lose a large segment of his audience. But then, maybe producing movies that have a particular Catholic slant to them is what he wants to do. More power to him -- it's his money afterall -- but all of the Protestants I know who lauded him for "The Passion" won't bother seeing his future movies if that's the tact he takes.
