Aren't you a Catholic who follows the teachings of Pope Benedict? Peace to you always, John My blood bought Brother David,

I wouldn't notice if the priests were abusing the liturgy in the Maronite rite, since I only speak English.  There's a new movie about the Vendees, you might be interested in, if you don't already know about it. http://www.navispictures.com/category_s/34.htm I suppose you already know about the film 'Cristiada'. I hope your dream of helping make a movie about the Resurrection comes true! What a great idea. I've often wondered what that mystery looked like. There will never be too many good Catholic films!

Roman is Latin, Priest Celibate, and observe Ash Wednesday.  Maronite is Aramaic, Priest can Marry, and observe Ash Monday.   My favorite movie is the Passion of Christ which Mel Gibson portrayed in Latin and Aramaic.  Thank you Mel Gibson for this incredible movie.  I want to help make the next movie called the Resurrection as an Accountant or Historian.   I would love to visit Beirut and Jerusalem for ancestral and religious reasons during the Easter season or Advent season.  Lebanon is the only Democratic state in the entire Mid-East.  President is a Maronite Catholic.  Patriarch of the Maronite Rite is a Cardinal who elects the Pope. Psalm 92:15 Righteous will flourish like the Cedar of Lebanon. I have visited the Vatican and checked out the Sistine Chapel.  I also was in awe of the catacombs who professed the faith before Constantine converted to the faith.  They believed in the faith under pressure from the Roman Government.
