This afternoon I found a door flyer, inviting me to see the Passion and asking me to join this fundamentalist Church in my neighborhood after I do so they can discuss what the movie means.

Wait until they see it. They'll be asking your local Parish what it means.

send them a copy of the book thats written to go along with it

Benedicta00 · Feb 24, 2004

I think its good that they want to bring souls to Christ but you know what they are going to be having these people believe. I hope the paln is not to counter the Catholic message.

PeterPaul · Feb 24, 2004

Shelb, it will work out. I'm sure that means more Jehovahs this summer, but we'll be ok. I think after you see the movie, you'll be so happy! I certainly hope so.

See, told you so. I predicted this a couple months ago. I saw it coming and I'm worried that poorly catechised Catholics who have an emotional experience (and who won't) will be "invited" to a fundamentalist or evangelical church and led away. This is why WE must do our part to evangelize those we come in contact with especially in our own churches.

Go and you tell them what it means!

Michelle-

I say take the invite to their church and then turn it around and lecture them on what it means...bring up how the movie shows Mary uniting with Jesus in the Redemption!

A question... has any one of you actually seen the movie already?

Nope! But I've seen clips and descriptions of the parts I have commented on...so there!

Suzannah · Feb 25, 2004

I got one too! I immediately and reverently "filed" it appropriately...

Clips barely give an impression of the entirety of a movie. ( Don't get me started on movies. I won't stop. Can you spell 'professionally deformed'? ) In theory this movie could have Christ breaking all ten commandments in the scenes you haven't seen. I know this isn't the case, I also know of the vatican reactions etc. I just... would like all to be cautious to recommend a movie so strongly and predetermine what your feelings will be about it or how it will change your life, before you have even seen it.

True...which is why I have commented on the parts I have seen...

faerieevaH · Feb 25, 2004

Ah... but can you put them into proper context without having seen the whole? The direct comments are only aimed at the scenes you have seen, but of course the impression you get is something you apply to the whole movie and therefor you're supporting the movie and telling everyone to go. You could be supporting a movie that -in theory- has Jesus smoking pot in a scene that you haven't seen.

((*LOL* We should go take this to the movie forum sometime. Just you and me. *evil grin*))

I have my tickets for 12:30 PM today.

I don't think I'm up for going into their church and doing that. I Think after all it is their church, I wouldn't like it if someone walked off the streets into my church and began to tell us how wrong we are. I wouldn't do something like that out of respect but if they come to my door knocking on it, which I am sure they will, they do anyway, I'll let them know. I'm thinking I should get this huge Mary staute and block my door with it.

Ok...but they did invite you.

Yea, you could justify it that way but as bold as I may seem on here, I am not as articulate in person.

We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us
