Evidently it is a sin to disagree with the diefication of Mary around here. Guess the lead moderator is a Roman Catholic. The offending poster pointed out that dollars from this film would go to build Mel's private church and good Protestants might not wish to do that given our age old disagreements with Rome and the Pope.

No, it was the manner in which he pointed it out -- and the fact that he did so in a thread that wasn't the right place for it, IMO.

Not sure why the diefication of Mary is/was an issue in review of this film, nor did I know that boycotting Catholics who do Christian movies would be a popular idea with anyone here.

Jeepers what a carnival.

Then how about start your own thread, and stop trying to hijack threads with the same old same old tired old canards?

What is a new point y'all wish to make, beyond the RC Church is the "Whore of Babylon"

You know what I mean.

Go away, please.

And don-o is not a Roman Catholic.

No Catholics believe in the "deification of Mary". Mary is a creature, not the creator. You are criticizing what you believe about the Catholic Church, not the Catholic Church itself, since you misrepresent her teachings.

I'm a Protestant and I will gladly contribute to Mel's private church.

Your first sentence bespeaks ignorance. Catholics do not deify Mary.
You second sentence is blind accusation.

As for your last sentence:
Mel invested his own money to make the movie. Many are willing to pay to see it. Mel can do what he likes with any of the profits.
As for the last part, spare us the words, and show us how you really exhibit your 'Christian' faith by donning your white hood, and roaming about the countryside hanging Catholics for their Popery.
