Pope to See Mel Gibson's Movie on Christ
Pope John Paul II has asked to see Mel Gibson's upcoming
movie on the death of Jesus Christ.
"The Passion of Christ" is set to be released on Ash
Wednesday next year, but the pope wants an advance
showing.
Gibson was planning to show the film today in Rome, but
his production company decided to postpone the Vatican
screening.
According to press reports, Gibson's Icon Productions told
the Vatican in an e-mail on Monday night that the actor
director was still working on the final version and asked
them to wait because "the film is only weeks away from
being finished."
The movie, which covers the final 12 hours in the life of
Jesus Christ, has come under intense criticism from Jewish
groups. They argue the film will foment anti-Semitism
because it portrays Jewish authorities as largely
responsible for Christ's death.
But Catholic and other Christian groups, as well as
biblical scholars, have defended the film, saying it
sticks closely to accounts of the Crucifixion as told in
the New Testament.
Recently, Billy Graham viewed the film and heartily
endorsed it. He denied that it had anti-Semitic overtones.
