CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The movie shows a mother suffering at the sight of her son being tortured. Nothing more.

So was she supposed to just stand by and jump for joy that Jesus was dyeing and being beaten to death? Or maybe since she was such a sinner she should have been out sinning instead of standing by Jesus side?
How should have Mel portrayed her , IYO? What would have been acceptable to you?
She watched her son die, she did not try to stop Jesus, she shed many tears watching him suffer, is this wrong IYO?

Mary according to the gospels did not kiss the feet of Jesus. In the movie she does. It appears that Jesus gains His power and strength from Mary, He was given power from God, not a human being who was a sinner.

We doo not believe Mary gives Him power? Why do you believe things that just arent true about us?
A) She was saying goodbye.
B) She was honoring His wounds.
C) Jesus was human after all as well as God, would you not gain courage and strength from your own mother supporting you at a time like that?
and D) This is a Catholic devotion, a style of spirituality that Catholics practice to show our love and devotion for what Christ did, to honor him. On Good Friday we all enter the Church at some point, preferable at 3:00 pm at kiss the feet of Christ on the crucifix. It just a devotion, something we do that shows our love for Christ and to show that we are remembering Him, thinking of Him.
Why do you think these types of things must be biblical? We do not feel our salvation comes from doing them, it is just a act, a show of love. Do you show the people in your life that you love them by doing things like that?
Besides, where does the bible say that every last thing you do, think, and feel about Christs passion must come from the bible?

Also Symes, It was conveyed that Mary, John and Mary Magdalene was really the only three who knew what was going on, why Jesus was up there dying for the world. You see them in the movie as each thing happens to our Lord look back at his life and realize what it all meant what it all was for. It was paramount to the movie in the respect, through them it told the viewers the story of what Christ was doing up there. It was a movie, it was telling a story through a means. The story itself was not told inaccurate, it was beautiful.
My favorite flashback was Mary Magdalene, as she clean Jesus blood up off the floor, realizing He was being condemned, she remembered Her being condemned and Jesus saving her. What a powerful image for us all. He was condemned so we wont be.

Symes, if you took all of that from this movie then it is clear that you have an issue with Mary to begin with.
I must remind you that this "sinner" you speak so harshly of was the mother of our Lord Jesus! God chose HER out of every other woman alive to carry His son!
If I am offended by watching people dishonor her I can only imagine how He must feel!
The movie portrayed nothing more than a grieving mother, yet your apparent Mary hang up has led you to see it as something entirely different. I suggest you pray about this. I suggest you tell Jesus how sorry you are for thinking ill of His mother.
It seems you are also sorely mistaken about what Catholics consider Mary. We honor her, and rightly so, she is the mother of Jesus! We believe that when Jesus gave her to John from the cross, He also gave her to us. She is our mother. Do we think that she comes before Jesus? NO, we adore Him first, above anyone else...
You should try asking her to pray for you sometime.

Honestly, I think we should just not talk to Symes about it anymore-it is going nowhere. He makes baseless claims about a movie he's never seen, and refuses to listen to anything any of us who have seen it says about.
It's obvious that he wants to think it's not a Godly movie, and will continue to think this despite any thing we say. If he really wanted to know if the movie is Godly, he'd go see it.

Any concept in the movie that is not Biblical is a problem. Actually it goes more than that to senes that are not Biblical is a problem.
