Jim Caviezel, famed for his role as Christ in The Passion of the Christ, and currently starring as the leading man in TV’s Person of Interest, is frequently outspoken on the issue of abortion. With his publicly Catholic faith to his committed pro-life views, Jim and his wife Kerri have adopted two children from China, both of whom had special needs.
Earlier this year, Caviezel had a message about God’s mercy and grace — especially for women who have had abortions. Now he has a message for Americans in general: calling abortion America’s “great sin.”
The Christian Post has more:
“Many people are a part of this great sin in this country. These are all God’s children and he brings them home. Now He wants to bring you home. Do you think your friend has more grace than God? Does your friend have more love than the Creator? It can never be. God forgives you and now He needs you to begin, to accept forgiveness,” the actor told the congregation at Rock Church in San Diego, WND.com reported earlier this week.
“Some of you have had abortions – some men here, and women are adulterers,” Caviezel said during a question and answer session at the church.
“Some have committed murder. Some of you didn’t have the abortion but paid for it, so you have contributed to this. Many people are part of this great sin in this country … over 50 million in the United States alone, and 45 million die every year in the world. These are all God’s children and God brings them home.”
Caviezel isn’t worried about how being outspoken on abortion may impact his career.
The actor told Catholic Digest in 2009 that being pro-life is more important to him than his career. He told the digest, “How are we so arrogant to think the 51.5 million babies who have died in this country… Look, I am for helping women. I just don’t see abortion as helping women. And I don’t love my career that much to say, ‘I’m going to remain silent on this.’”
Well said!
God bless him.

We lost 1.2% (600k of 50m) of the population in the Civil War over the other “great sin” of the nation.
This judgement will be worse.
1.2% of 300 m = 3.6 million people today
He just kneecapped his career.
Makes me feel good to see someone risk much to stand for principle. God Bless him.
Thank you Jesus!
Amen!
Standing ovation and a 5 star review! Hopefully many, many more in Hollywood will wake up to this truth, before it's too late.
They should understand better than any of us that with the great power they have been given to entertain comes the equal, or perhaps greater, responsibility to society to do no harm.
5% Carry 100% of Free Republic Expense!
Which means the other 95% are not conservatives.
They are Freep Loaders like illegal aliens living off our tax $’s.
Real conservatives pay for their way in life and don’t depend on others to pay for their uses in life.
He has a new inspirational movie out too that friends have seen and said it was fantastic...
And we know what God says: Do not murder.
And we know what Jesus says: No murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
He’s absolutely right.
AMEN! Thanks for the post!
Well put, Mr. Caviezel. Thank you for taking a stand!
I liked him in the movie, “Frequency.”
