While I'm inclined to agree, "seemingly cannonical" is a bit snide, isn't it? --cpritchett42 02:59, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

It's not meant to sound snide. My use of the term 'seemingly canonical' is literal. I think it's appropriate. Much was made of the 'authenticity' of the production - especially of its use of Aramaic and Greek - and when interviewed the producers of the movie imbued it with an authority which led many to believe it was a faithful adaptation of the gospels. Put simply, it is not. Thematically of course it is faithfull to the Christian story but most of its memorable scenes don't originate in the Bible. Yallery Brown22:13, 28 November 2005

Ok, that just seemed to stick out at me there. I totally agree though, its wholesale acceptance as being taken directly from the bible is an interesting look at what people will incorporate into their lives with the right amount of fanfare. I also find it interesting that Anne Catherine Emmerich was beatified the same year that the movie was released, but that may be purely coincidence. I'm not very familiar with the canonization process, but I assume she was on the list "in queue" to be beatified long before. --cpritchett42 01:57, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Hey, the more information the better, but I don't understand why the link to Anne Catherine Emmerich is changed to Anne C. Emmerich like it was previously. Not trying to step on anyones toes or start an edit war, but seriously.. From what I can see she's almost always noted as being Anne Catherine Emmerich instead of using the middle initial. --cpritchett42 02:02, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

I didn't understand why that had been changed either, escpecially as a page for Anne Catherine Emmerich exists. It may have simply been an oversight on the part of the person who made the additions. I've repaired the link. Yallery Brown 12:19, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
