In case anyone is interested thought I'd let you know that Diane Sawyer is interviewing Mel Gibson tonight at 10:00 EST on ABC.  On the promo preview, he said God gave him the idea to do this movie 12 yrs. ago.  Think this interview may be a little different from the others.

hm,,,thank you Chris.   I missed it.  Can you or someone fill us in?

Hearing of the Sawyer interview with P. Bush a month ago, or whenever it was, I'd like to take along my pacifier, I think...

Does anyone know if Mel Gibson has recently made a committment to Christ or is he just a nice guy who believes in the Bible?

I've heard he had an epiphany during the production of "Braveheart".


But I'm not totally sure; "What A Woman Wants" was filmed since then(I think), and, tho funny, he's dressed up as a woman in it, etc.


Sometimes I wonder if a saved believer would do what he's doing--taking the time to dramatize Jesus' last hours?

Does it "evangelize"?

Yes--on the scale it's apparently being shown, worldwide--yes, I think it definitely is.  It's getting the gruesome story of our Lord out there--and forcing many in the media to say something.  I listened the a Time writer seemingly dancing around the story, today.  Amazing, when faced with the bare facts, how I can still excuse myself.

Human beings are amazing, at our artifice.

Gibson is a schismatic Roman Catholic who does not accept the teachings of Vatican II. *

Its a very old tradition. People put on passion plays for hundreds of years - they were an important part of both evangelism and teaching people about the events of the gospel. Most important in an age of illiteracy - and making a comeback in this age of biblical illiteracy. They're a handy, visual way of showing people what happened - and most people have visual minds

Wow, okay, yes, very good point.  The Passion Play a frequent motif in many locales.  There's one known regionally near where I live in fact.  

Yes, good point.  And yes, Gibson in an offshoot Catholic outfit, of sorts.

Hey a.b.

It just means that he's split from Rome itself. I suppose a more familiar term would be a sect of Catholicism. The Pope doesn't recognise them as being catholics, but they think they are catholics and that the Pope is wrong Smiley

They don't agree with the second Vatican council - thats the one which got rid of Latin masses and things like that. I know it did more important things than just that, but I cannot remember what they are.  Smiley
