I'm sure a lot of it will go to the Catholic church. And I'm sure a lot will hit his own back pocket. Not even pastors work for free, ya know.

clinzey said:On a side note, why are we feverishly hyped up about the passion when the real kicker - the mainstay of Christian faith - is found not the crucifixion but the resurrection? The movie pays a 15 second tribute to the big one and spends hours focusing on the small issue that took him there....

I think George Lucas doesn't give enough of his 'Star Wars" money to charity.

John 15:13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Romans 5:8-9
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
1 Corinthians 1:23
But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
1 Corinthians 2:2
For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
Galatians 6:14
But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
1 John 3:16
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
Revelation 5:6
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth

patriarch said:"If the resurrection is the raison d'etre for the cricifixion, then the resurrection takes priority."
Not in the order of time it doesn't. First one, then the other.
Athanasian Creed said:1 Corinthians 15:17-20
And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
Seems to me Paul put great emphasis on the Resurrection as being the crux of the whole Gospel message - no Resurrection = no forgiven sins.
