It’s a pity Christians don’t riot like Muslims do every time the media profanes our Prophet and Sevior Jesus Christ.
Nothing is sacred in Hollywood unless it’s their own warped values.
Here we have an intense drama where the fate and faith of a billion Christians is at stake, and they just have to include a flaming gay priest in the cast who dresses better than a fashion model and dances around the set like a little girl in love for the first time. Disgusting.
The Hollywood database IMDB.com classifies this as a drama/mystery/romance. Tinsletown revels like a pig in mud in the crass subtext of a priest in a professional relationship with a beautiful woman.
They just can’t resist the temptation to, well, place an honest priest in constant temptation. The priest knows very well his predilection, and plays it with consummate skill. There are no limits to Hollywood’s subterfuge, no depths to which they will not wallow.
A body has been discovered in a tomb in Jerusalem that has all the hallmarks of a crucified Jesus. The Vatican is worried sick that this will prove Christ did not rise from the dead, that Jesus was not God after all, and that billions of the faithful will suffer grievous loss in their lives.
Antonio Banderas plays a loyal priest tortured inside and out with the ramifications. It’s truly personal to him and his own faith. He’s clearly put off by the flaming gay father who runs the monastery where he stays while in Jerusalem. He’s disoriented in many ways, and we feel them all.
You’re right there in the middle of Jerusalem the whole time. The locations are visceral, and the sensation is organic. The Israeli-Palestinian violence is ongoing, and the conflict is a major subplot.
You feel what it’s like to live in a Holy City under attack by infidels. You see what the Israelis have to put up with every day of their lives. The danger is palpable and very real.
Hollywood made this film intending to defame Christianity and Christ. They delude themselves into thinking that a Christ who is merely a man and not a God will destroy our faith.
“At last, our chance to obliterate Christendom.”
It shows just how far they have strayed from the core values of humanity, because a God who lives and dies as a man is even more supremely significant still.
