As of yet, a 38-11/12-year-old Catholic, I've never seen the movie. What do you think? Should I give it a try?Scott Lyonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12564684437473178371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254272216866737058.post-90313224119155331262009-08-21T17:03:09.244-06:002009-08-21T17:03:09.244-06:00Scott:I don't know.

A long time ago I thought about writing an article comparing the Christologies of Kazantzakis and the of Anne Rice from her book Memnoch the Devil. The reason is that Kazantzakis goes so far with the humanity of Christ and Rice, who has revised her view in recent years, having returned to the church, gave into Jesus' humanity as a charade.<br><br>I recommend the film. For me at the time it cleared an opening for me consider the question.Dcn Scott Dodgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09994604395739905637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254272216866737058.post-13265582498567245102009-08-23T08:03:45.770-06:002009-08-23T08:03:45.770-06:00I appreciate the opportunity to get to know you be...I appreciate the opportunity to get to know you better, Scott.

St. Paul's line in the movie moved one of our party to laugh a bit. The picket line was unreal with a guy wheeling a mannequin Jesus back and forth on a dolly with a boom box playing hymns. Associated Press and fans of the book in the line. I only made it about halfway through the book. I thought his St. Francis was much better - his dualism seemed less out of place with Francis than with Christ. My two cents. :)Fredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01262662173303042998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254272216866737058.post-86399630402051044242009-08-28T07:33:19.500-06:002009-08-28T07:33:19.500-06:00Your contributions are always worth more than 2 ce...Your contributions are always worth more than 2 cents, Fred!
