Looks good, can't wait.

[stevem]

This has the makings of one of those really intense films that will leave you drained when you meander back to you car.

[what's up]

Love Mel Gibson.

Little quirky on his feeling that the mass should be in the language of ancient Rome, though.

[Taffini]

the catholic mass has become a hippy love-in---a piano jammin' stupid freak show with the tabernacle removed from the center focal point on the altar to a secondary position on the sidelines. God has taken a back seat to man and his selflove

[Taffini]

Mel Gibson is an honerable man and i think one of the reasons women LOVE mel is because he LOVES HIS WIFE AND HIS CHILDREN---HE IS THE KIND OF MAN WOMEN WANT

[TAdams8591]

Mel's right on about what happened to the church after the second vatican council!

The actor's speak in two dead languages? That will be interesting to see/hear!

[LibertarianLiz]

with the tabernacle removed from the center focal point on the altar to a secondary position on the sidelines.

Hey, you're lucky your tabernacle is at least "on the sidelines". Our parish built a new church and the tabernacle is in a seperate room, door closed during mass. For me, the symbolism of this is just awful, kind of like kicking Christ out of the church and closing the door on him; as if he has nothing to do with what is going on at mass.

[what's up]

What you say is extremely true...but having the mass in Latin, the language of the Caesars, won't help.

[Slyfox]

I have went into Catholic churches and asked Jesus where He was,
only to find Him in a closet tucked out of the way without a candle noting the spot.

You'd almost think that somebody was ashamed to have Him hanging around.

[ColdSteelTalon]

I need subtitles though !!!!! I can't understand Latin or Aramaic.

[Renatus]

What you say is extremely true...but having the mass in Latin, the language of the Caesars, won't help.

Yes it will.

[Siobhan]

I think you'll be able to follow the story.

[ColdSteelTalon]

Maybe but I'll give it a try :)

[Siobhan]

Ping.

"Our parish built a new church and the tabernacle is in a seperate room, door closed during mass."

They did that? You gotta be kidding! How awful!!

[MHGinTN]

It will be difficult to sit through the entire Passion. What He went through to secure my salvation is beyond human endurance and it will melt my old heart like butter, probably from the outset ... I've read the book you see, so it'll be vivid, all the more vivid. I'll pay to see the film, then buy the Disc when it becomes available, just to give my mite support to Mel. I have only one question: Will the Ressurection be included? [Mel, you wanna give us a hint, brother?]

[what's up]

How can reciting prayers in a foreign language be more effective than talking to God in your own tongue?

I don't get it. What's so holy about Latin?

[ALOHA RONNIE]

NEVER FORGET

...With his -Fighting for Freedom- Motion Picture Trilogy of .."BRAVEHEART".., .."The PATRIOT".. and .."WE WERE SOLDIERS"..

...MEL GIBSON has become our new much needed JOHN WAYNE in a new -Time of War- in a new Century with an Enemy that is now just around the corner and up our street.

...No wonder MEL GIBSON is suddenly coming under attack as the Enemy Within HILLARY RODHAM assumes her new seat on our U.S. Senate's super secret Armed Services Committee to do us even more harm.


The Enemy is now Within and always has been.
