[Denise]

FILM REVIEW: New film portrays the Blessed Mother with reverence but takes troubling liberties with Catholic doctrine.

Interestingly our Parish Priest mentioned at Mass this morning this film.

He stated that though some parts are not listed in scripture, he thought that the
angel asking Joachim (Mary's father) permission for her to be the God-bearer
was an interesting take.

The script went through many rewrites, with consultation of Christian, Jewish and Muslim religious leaders —

consulting muslims was surprising
though I have heard that in their book, Mary is listed more times than their own mohamed
and revered higher than their women
They don't believe in the Immaculate Conception or of the Divine Nature of Jesus

would be interesting to see how the story of Mary is portrayed

I wouldn't give this movie the time of day. I wouldn't be able to get that hour and a half back.

absolutely right
