Should I've or Shouldn't I've

The Passion of the Christ was a powerful portrayal of Christ's suffering. Brutal beatings, powerful emotions contributed to a great sense of awe, awe that Christ came down as man and yet still very God of very God. The Passion showed us Christ the God man. So naturally a response to that movie would have to entail some sort of denial of the fact that he was a man or that he was God. The DaVinci Code is just that kind of response.

The DaVinci Code, as everyone knows from the book, is all about how Mary Magdelene bore Christ's child. Christ was not God, but merely man. I went to this movie last night with Michael Collender, the editor for St. Ann's Pub. Before going I had heard a comment that going to a movie on opening weekend is basically casting your vote for that movie with your money. The opening weekend dictates how much effort is put into marketing the rest of the movie, unless of course we are talking about Brokeback Mountain. Anyway, I went with Michael inspite of this because he was preparing a review of the movie (and because I wanted to hear what he said about it.) However, instead of me telling you what he said, go to http://www.stannespub.com/Ontap.asp. This is very, very good critique of the movie both of the filming and the worldview.

Listen to the review and hear how the movie should have ended.
