From Gizmodo:
'The Passion of the Christ' Robot
filed under gadgets
JOEL JOHNSON -- These are the sort of headlines I wake up for in the morning: 'Robot Jesus Used In Gibson Film.' According to Ananova, it got too cold for star Jim Caviezel to be filmed in just his skivvies up there on the cross, so a $400,000 robot was built to simulate Caviezel simulating Christ simulating the Son of God. I haven't seen the film yet, but I bet you that no one would have killed Jesus if they would have known he was a robot. A couple of eye-beam laser blasts later, halves of Pharisees go flying through the air; Robo-Jesus tears himself off the cross and uses it to clear a path through the crowd, then launches into the air with his rocket sandals, leaving the still-crackling husk of Pontius Pilate below. I'll be back, indeed.

Ahem, TRADITIONALIST Catholics. It is a huge distinction, and really pissing me off most about this movie/hype.

Er what other sort are there?
There is only one Catholic church, right? The Pope in the vatican, the chintz, the harbouring Nazi gold?
So its a catholic tradition to mess around with young boys?
What are you on about.

Gibson is a Traditionalist Catholic, which is a sect that rejects Vatican II (which ended that 'blame the jews' shit) and numerous papal dictates. I believe they aren't recognized by the Pope.
It's a way-out-there sect that is not a part of the mainstream church (they function as Catholics did 100 years ago, not today, and have their own churches so mass can be said in latin). I didn't even know about it before the movie hubbub. And I hate that his extreme views (and his father's 'there was no holocaust' crap) are seen as part of Catholicism.
Just clarifying; the Catholic Church is plenty f'd up, but Gibson's beliefs are beyond the pale.

OK sorry..... I didnt know any of that. On the website:
http://www.latinmass-ctm.org/about/origin.htm (http://www.latinmass-ctm.org/about/origin.htm)
They make a big deal of the Latin mass, not the other stuff.
But Gibson did seek and the push the popes approval of the film. In my mind, if you dont believe that the pope is gods envoy upon earth, you are not a real Catholic and shouldnt call yourself Catholic, lapsed catholic, maybe....
-
I think it's kind of cool to have the mass in Latin, but to say there was no Holocaust is so incredibly bizarre and wrong!

I never really understood it either.... I dont see that there is a lack of evidence for the holocaust or for the most part, peoples motives in denying it.

Well, I'm Irish Catholic, and it's an ethnicity to me as much as a religion. I don't believe in the Pope's infallibility, I knowingly disobey and disagree with numerous temporal church doctrines, and yet I do go to mass occasionally. It's an American phenomenon (http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/0684826828/macinsearch08-20/701-6976173-0209125) to view and live Catholicism thusly....
I know this sounds weird and hypocritical and whatever, but it's just what I do. I'm fine with it, and that's all that matters to me. Make change within! (Both yourself and the church)

As are we all... ;)
Though that seems to slip by certain fundamentalists' understanding, as they cast the first stones.

I know most Americans are in the same position. But i find it difficult to think that you are in the right religion Blieving that the pope is gods speaker is the prime difference between being a Catholic and a Protestant.
Not that I am trying to sell protestantism. (I am a keen atheist)

I'm a proddie-dog married to an Irish Catholic but we had to go through the doodle Catholic thing before the wedding. Let me tell you, the Irish Catholics are good Catholics who follow the religion but understand that it's hard to follow by the word so are forgiving if you stray sometimes....the doodle Catholics are fucking fruit loops. The twat who we had to see wouldn't even call me by name but would only refer to me as "the non-catholic"...I could go on and on but to make a long story short, the priest in Ireland who married us said to forget all the pre-kana or whatever it's called and just don't bother going back to see this dick. It was pathetic the way this fat *unt treated my wife let alone me. It's been years since I felt angry enough to punch someone but I was very very close to kicking that pricks arse I can tell you. Oh yes, whatever happened to living a modest life as a priest? This moron drove a big fat Lincoln with personalized tags! You know he messed about with little boys.

Is he still running for President? I'm hoping he stays in long enough to make Bishop Don Magic Juan his V.P. candidate...
