A reminder: Mel Gibson will be discussing The Passion of the Christ tonight on FoxNews at 8 PM and 11 PM. Bill O'Reilly is a Catholic, although he has expressed some misunderstandings about Catholic teaching, but I'm looking forward to the discussion.
O'Reilly is also pretty hard-hitting, so perhaps he'll be the first to ask Gibson if he follows Pope John Paul II . . . I'm still waiting for that answer.
God bless,

No, it's just a re-airing of the interview Gibson gave him back in January '03. There aren't a lot of hard hitting questions, O'Reilly basically swoons over him (much as I would if I was conducting the interview). Still, it's worth watching. I have a link to the transcript on my blog.
Im almost certain he follows the Pope, but he also follows the truth which comes from 2000 years of Catholic history. I think his comment "it doesnt matter" reffering to the Popes approval was right on. It is a work of art to be viewed as such, no one raises an eyebrow when movies filled with nudity, sex, and provocotive language are hitting the big screen...Why now. Mel Gibson is making the movie as a Catholic artist, not in the name of the Catholic church, I remind you that the Holy Father is infallible only in matters of Faith and Dogma! I also loved the statement he made about the USCCB in his interview with Raymond Aroyo on EWTN, Its amazing that someone with such a life and so much to lose has more of a backbone then the men who have "given their life" to God. He is really showing the world what it means to be Catholic, perhaps even starting a little bit of a revolution!! Its Time for Catholics to Come Home to the Truth, not political correctness!
