And the name of the 3rd film is Dark Knight Rises. Sacrifice, salvation, resurrection.<br />Hmmm....<br /><br />In Batman Begins, there's a scene where Wayne first wears the Batsuit and puts his arm under a waterfall. It serves no plot purpose - a baptismal symbol? At the very end of The Dark Knight, there's a Barabbas moment - for the sake of Gotham, the reputation of either Harvey Dent or Batman must be sacrificed, and it's the innocent one whose reputation pays the price. <br /><br />There's more, but I may be too far out on the limb as it is. But if there's a Gethsemane moment in the coming movie where Wayne asks that the cup of responsibility for saving Gotham passes his lips, or if the Selina Kyle character is a Mary Magdelene-like figure (fallen woman turned disciple) then I know I'm getting close.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16083339223419245244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770773858394288801.post-31252941588403064362012-03-09T10:55:07.128-06:002012-03-09T10:55:07.128-06:00The most important line in your blog is this:

I shared with them this situation with a relative of mine... I warned my relative that she is in danger of eternal damnation if she does not go to<br />confession. I know she needs to confess that she helped teenage girls get abortions as part of her job as a teen counsoler. She drove them to<br />the clinic to get the abortions. That is to say, she herself is as much to blame for those abortions as the doctors who did them. So she has mortal sin on her soul. According to the Catichism of the Church a person can only remove the stain of mortal sin by the Sacrament of<br />Reconciliation.... But the prayer group disputed that teaching of The Church entirely. I was the only one who stood up for that teacing. And<br />so they got angry at me. They tried to create a "gray area" of "well God may be merciful at the moment of death etc. etc." "True", I said,<br />"but the only way we can be certain is to go to confession and receive Absolution". My relative is no longer practicing the Catholic faith and<br />I feel like she seems very much like a lost soul nowadays even though she goes to born again churches. But, frankly not sure if she is even<br />attending that either?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17683997133292184115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770773858394288801.post-63058221671030461002011-07-19T11:26:04.440-05:002011-07-19T11:26:04.440-05:00I had reservations about including Doubt in that l...I had reservations about including Doubt in that list, not just for the reason you presented, which is merited, but also because the movie did not seem to drive home any serious anti-Catholic sentiment. The reason I posted it because it focuses on the scandal without any real redemptive element. Certainly there are atrocities committed, and they should be revealed and promoted, but I believe that a film, especially one with such a religious tone, should show that there is another way. None of the characters must choose it, but here the subject of doubt is never fully countered by faith. This would be an interesting film to again write on specifically for this reason.

This movie is depicts a horrid event that is a part of our history. A history that needs to be exposed and discussed for what it is and was - evil. If this movie sugar coated the tragedy of preist abusing kids and the cover up that followed - that would have been a movie with an agenda worthy of protecting kids from seeing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770773858394288801.post-35482737864763892852010-09-01T16:44:46.950-05:002010-09-01T16:44:46.950-05:00Spoken like a true leader!!Spoken like a true leader!!AxisMDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03377081261272444279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770773858394288801.post-18941731333014868042010-01-28T09:03:25.892-06:002010-01-28T09:03:25.892-06:00Here is the link to the article,
