i really enjoyed the movie. howver, i am not catholic, and there were a whole lot of catholic, and catholic types of scenes. it was very orientated around catholism (sp?). But i sill enjoyed the movie. very deeply moving, very poweful. yeah, who has that baby satan was holding supposed to be? just a demon? but that freaked me out. that image will stay with me for a while. but i think that movie is going to spread the word out about jesus and all that.

but my only real problem with the movie, is that it didn't answer the question "why did jesus have to die." there is a book out my john piper, called, "the passion of the christ, 50 reasons why jesus had to die." really good book. you may want to pick it up.

Yeh, I could see the Catholicism in it. I dont think it was overpowering though. It had a good mix of scriptural integrity, it was denominationally diverse, and even had a sort of abstract appeal in some scenes. Very good.

Yeh, when satan came with the baby, I got so angry, cos it was like he was walking around jesus while he was getting whipped and mocking Him. See, didnt he look like the virgin mary with child? It was like he was saying, this child that carried the hopes of the world is now a bloody mess on the floor, He is defeated. That was my first impression.
