Here is a true story by Paul Harvey. Pass it to anyone
who you think would find it interesting and inspiring. You
will be surprised who this young man turns out to be.
(Do not look at the bottom of this letter until you have
read it fully)
Years ago a hardworking man took his family from New
York State to Australia to take advantage of a work
opportunity there. Part of this man's family was a
handsome young son who had aspirations of joining the
circus as a trapeze artist or an actor. This young fellow,
biding his time until a circus job or even one as a
stagehand came along, worked at the local shipyards
which bordered on the worse section of town. Walking
home from work one evening this young man was
attacked by five thugs who wanted to rob him. Instead of
just giving up his money the young fellow resisted.
However they bested him easily and proceeded to beat
him to a pulp. They mashed his face with their boots,
and kicked and beat his body brutally with clubs, leaving
him for dead. When the police happened to find him
lying in the road they assumed he was dead and called
for the Morgue Wagon.
On the way to the morgue a policeman heard him gasp
for air, and they immediately took him to the emergency
unit at the hospital. When he was placed on a gurney a
nurse remarked to her horror, that this young man no
longer had a face. Each eye socket was smashed, his
skull, legs, and arms fractured, his nose literally hanging
from his face, all is teeth were gone, and his jaw was
almost completely torn from his skull. Although his life
was spared, he spent over a year in the hospital. When
he finally left, his body may have healed but his face was
disgusting to look at. He was no longer the handsome
youth that everyone admired.
When the young man started to look for work again he
was turned down by everyone just on account of the way
he looked. One potential employer suggested to him that
he join the freak show at the circus as The Man Who
Had No Face. And he did this for a while. He was still
rejected by everyone and no one wanted to be seen in his
company. He had thoughts of suicide. This went on for
five years.
One day he passed a church and sought some solace
there. Entering the church he encountered a priest who
had saw him sobbing while kneeling in a pew. The priest
took pity on him and took him to the rectory where they
talked at length. The priest was impressed with him to
such a degree that he said that he would do everything
possible for him that could be done to restore his dignity
and life, if the young man would promise to be the best
Catholic he could be, and trust in God's mercy to free
him from his torturous life. The young man went to Mass
and communion every day, and after thanking God for
saving his life, asked God to only give him peace of mind
and the grace to be the best man he could ever be in His
eyes.
The priest, through his personal contacts was able to
secure the services of the best plastic surgeon in
Australia. There would be no cost to the young man, as
the doctor was the priest's best friend. The doctor too
was so impressed by the young man. Whose outlook
now on life, even though he had experienced the worst,
was filled with good humor and love.
The surgery was a miraculous success. All the best dental
work was also done for him. The young man became
everything he promised God he would be. He was also
blessed with a wonderful, beautiful wife, many children,
and success in an industry which would have been the
furthest thing from his mind as a career, if not for the
goodness of God and the love of the people who cared
for him. This he acknowledges publicly.
The young man?
Mel Gibson.
His life was the inspiration for his production of the
movie "The Man Without A Face."

December 8th, 2006 My Personal Review of 'Apocalypto'
by Mitch Battros - ECM/ECTV
There are generally two distinct perspectives of the Mayan culture. One is a culture of an astronomically advanced society with a bewildering understanding of the sky and universe. Also of a spiritually focused community with a passion of stewardship to "Gaia" or Mother Earth…
as with many indigenous tribes.
The second view of the Mayan culture is of a savage backward people. A society of evil worship and human sacrifice.
This view also believes the Maya were wasteful stupid people quickly devouring their surroundings and leading to their demise.
Mel Gibson has gone full throttle into the second view of the Maya. So much so, towards the end of the movie we see the Spanish
ships docking on the shores of perhaps Guatemala or Belize. The Spanish Inquisition had begun its toll on the Yucatan.
This movie is filled with blood, and guts, and beheadings, and cutting out hearts, and torture, and everything for those who love
this stuff will just have to see. Okay fine; go see it---But please remember this is HOLLYWOOD, not fact. I fear people will come
away from this filth thinking they have an accurate depiction of history.
Gibson's disdain for anything other than his slant on Christianity comes blasting through with a conscious intent to sabotage
all spiritual beliefs --- except his own of course. At one time I felt sorry for this knucklehead when he was charged with a DUI
and jailed. And who could forget his spewing of anti-Semite Jew hating babble. Now I realize he just doesn't hate Jews, he
hates everybody who isn't Christian. Not just Christian, but "his kind of Christian".
This movie put a sour taste in my mouth, and sadness in my heart. Those who are less educated about this culture will actually
"cheer" when they see the Spanish vessels arrive off shore. Of course the movie ends there not giving the story of what happened next.
The Spanish Inquisition was led by Diego de Landa Calderón (1524 - 1579) and was Bishop of Yucatán. Landa's Inquisition
showered a level of physical abuse upon the indigenous Maya that many viewed as excessive, and was at the very least
unusual. Scores of Maya nobles were jailed pending interrogation, and large numbers of Maya nobles and commoners
were subjected to examination under "hoisting." During hoisting, a victim's hands were bound and looped over an
extended line that was then raised until the victim's entire body was suspended in the air. Often, stone weights were
added to the ankles or lashes applied to the back during interrogation.
Some contemporary observers were troubled by this widespread use of torture. Crown fiat had earlier exempted
indigenous peoples from the authority of the Inquisition, on the grounds that their understanding of Christianity
was "too childish" to be held culpable for heresies. Additionally, Landa dispensed with much of the extensive
formal procedure and documentation that accompanied Spanish torture and interrogation.
Landa defended his actions by arguing that in the process of rooting out idolatry, he had discovered evidence of
human sacrifice. One of the alleged victims, Mani encomendero Dasbatés, was even found later to be alive.
Landa was sent back to Spain by Bishop Toral, to stand trial for conducting an illegal Inquisition. His actions were
strongly condemned before the Council of the Indies. This resulted in a "committee of doctors" being commissioned
to investigate Landa's alleged crimes. In 1569 the committee absolved Landa of his crimes. Bishop Toral died in
Mexico in 1571, allowing King Phillip II of Spain to appoint Landa as the fourth-appointed bishop of Yucatán.
Mel Gibson you should be ashamed of yourself. Maybe this is why you went on a binder after some years of sobriety.
Living a lie, and worse yet, fueling the flames of prejudice, I can better understand why the taste and effect of beer
and liquor was just too tempting. - Mitch Battros

"Hi Ruth,
I
just came back from seeing Mel Gibson's Apocalypto and it was very good.
Even if people who are seeing the movie know nothing about the Maya, the movie is a good action film.
However, if you know about the Maya, then the movie has a lot in it. There was a prayer to the Goddess Ixchel,
the women weavers, the ball court, talk of animal spirits, elders, prophecy and, of course, dreams and lots of turquoise.
The location shots are gorgeous, the production is excellent, the costumes, actors, this is a good film.
The point of this movie, which is told in the first few minutes of the film, energized me when I left the movie.
It didn't dawn on me until I was on the bus coming home that there isn't any English spoken in the entire film.
I didn't have a clue how Mel Gilbson was going to end the film, but I loved the ending.
Hope you get to see it because I know that the word Maya is going to get a lot of hits on the internet now."

_______________
I really did not know what to expect. I was thrilled to have been
invited to a private viewing of Mel Gibson's film "The Passion,"
but I had also read all the cautious articles and spin. I grew up in
a
Jewish town and owe much of my own faith journey to the influence.
I I have a life long, deeply held aversion to anything that might
even indirectly encourage any form of anti-Semitic thought, language
or
actions.
I arrived at the private viewing for "The Passion", held in
Washington DC and greeted some familiar faces. The environment was
typically Washingtonian, with people greeting you with a smile but
seeming to look beyond you, having an agenda beyond the words. The
film was very briefly introduced, without fanfare, and then the
room darkened. From the gripping opening scene in the Garden of
Gethsemane, to the very human and tender portrayal of the earthly
ministry of Jesus, through the betrayal, the arrest, the scourging,
the way of the cross, the encounter with the thieves, the surrender
on the Cross, until the final scene in the empty tomb, this was not
simply a movie; it was an encounter, unlike anything I have ever
experienced.
In addition to being a masterpiece of film-making and an artistic
triumph, "The Passion" evoked more deep reflection, sorrow and
emotional reaction within me than anything since my wedding, my
ordination or the birth of my children. Frankly, I will never be
the same. When the film concluded, this "invitation only" gathering
of
"movers and shakers" in Washington, DC were shaking indeed, but
this time from sobbing. I am not sure there was a dry eye in the
place. The crowd that had been glad-handing before the film was
now eerily silent. No one could speak because words were woefully
inadequate. We had experienced a kind of art that is a rarity in
life, the kind that makes heaven touch earth.
One scene in the film has now been forever etched in my mind. A
brutalized, wounded Jesus was soon to fall again under the weight
of the cross. His mother had made her way along the Via Della Rosa.
As she ran to him, she flashed back to a memory of Jesus as a child,
falling in the dirt road outside of their home. Just as she reached
to protect him from the fall, she was now reaching to touch his
wounded adult face. Jesus looked at her with intensely probing and
passionately loving eyes (and at all of us through the screen) and
said "Behold I make all things new." These are words taken from
the last Book of the New Testament, the Book of Revelations. Suddenly,
the purpose of the pain was so clear and the wounds, that earlier
in the film had been so difficult to see in His face, His back, indeed
all over His body, became intensely beautiful. They had been borne
voluntarily for love.
At the end of the film, after we had all had a chance to recover, a
question
and answer period ensued. The unanimous praise for the film, from a
rather diverse crowd, was as astounding as the compliments were effusive.
The questions included the one question that seems to follow this film,
even
though it has not yet even been released. "Why is this film considered
by
some to be "anti-Semitic?" Frankly, having now experienced (you do
not
"view" this film) "the Passion" it is a question that is impossible
to answer.
A law professor whom I admire sat in front of me. He raised his hand
and
responded "After watching this film, I do not understand how anyone
can
insinuate that it even remotely presents that the Jews killed Jesus.
It doesn't."
He continued "It made me realize that my sins killed Jesus" I agree.
There is not a scintilla of anti-Semitism to be found anywhere in this
powerful film. If there were, I would be among the first to decry it.
It faithfully tells the Gospel story in a dramatically beautiful, sensitive
and profoundly engaging way.
Those who are alleging otherwise have either not seen the film or have
another agenda behind their protestations. This is not a "Christian"
film,
in the sense that it will appeal only to those who identify themselves
as
followers of Jesus Christ. It is a deeply human, beautiful story that
will
deeply touch all men and women. It is a profound work of art. Yes,
its
producer is a Catholic Christian and thankfully has remained faithful
to
the Gospel text; if that is no longer acceptable behavior than we are
all
in trouble. History demands that we remain faithful to the story and
Christians have a right to tell it. After all, we believe that it is
the greatest
story ever told and that its message is for all men and women. The
greatest
right is the right to hear the truth.
We would all be well advised to remember that the Gospel narratives
to which "The Passion" is so faithful were written by Jewish men who
followed a Jewish Rabbi whose life and teaching have forever changed
the history of the world. The problem is not the message but those
who have distorted it and used it for hate rather than love. The
solution is not to censor the message, but rather to promote the kind
of gift of love that is Mel Gibson's filmmaking masterpiece, "The Passion."
It should be seen by as many people as possible. I intend to do everything
I can to make sure that is the case. I am passionate about "The Passion."
You will be as well. Don't miss it!
****************************************
The following is a commentary by DAVID LIMBAUGH about
Mel Gibson's very controversial movie regarding Christ's
crucifixion.
MEL GIBSON'S passion for "THE PASSION"
How ironic that when a movie producer takes artistic license with
historical events, he is lionized as artistic, creative and brilliant,
but
when another takes special care to be true to the real-life story,
he is
vilified. Actor-producer Mel Gibson is discovering these truths the
hard way as he is having difficulty finding a United States studio
or
distributor for his upcoming film, "The Passion," which depicts the
last 12 hours of the life of Jesus Christ.
Gibson co-wrote the script and financed, directed and produced the
movie. For the script, he and his co-author relied on the New
Testament Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, as well as the
diaries of St. Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824) and
Mary of Agreda's, "The City of God."
Gibson doesn't want this to be like other sterilized religious epics.
"I'm trying to access the story on a very personal level and trying
to
be very real about it." So committed to realistically portraying what
many would consider the most important half-day in the history of the
universe, Gibson even shot the film in the Aramaic language of the
period. In response to objections that viewers will not be able to
understand that language, Gibson said, "Hopefully, I'll be able to
transcend the language barriers with my visual storytelling; if I fail,
I fail, but at least it'll be a monumental failure."
To further insure the accuracy of the work, Gibson has enlisted the
counsel of pastors and theologians, and has received rave reviews.
Don Hodel, president of Focus on the Family, said, "I was very
impressed. The movie is historically and theologically accurate."
Ted Haggard, pastor of New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colo.,
and president of the National Evangelical Association, glowed:
"It conveys, more accurately than any other film, who Jesus was."
During the filming, Gibson, a devout Catholic, attended Mass every
morning because "we had to be squeaky clean just working on this."
From Gibson's perspective, this movie is not about Mel Gibson. It's
bigger than he is. "I'm not a preacher, and I'm not a pastor," he said.
"But I really feel my career was leading me to make this. The Holy
Ghost
was working through me on this film, and I was just directing traffic.
I
hope the film has the power to evangelize."
Even before the release of the movie, scheduled for March 2004,
Gibson is getting his wish. "Everyone who worked on this movie was
changed. There were agnostics and Muslims on set converting to
Christianity...[and] people being healed of diseases." Gibson wants
people to understand through the movie, if they don't already, the
incalculable influence Christ has had on the world. And he grasps
that Christ is controversial precisely because of WHO HE IS - GOD
incarnate. "And that's the point of my film really, to show all that
turmoil around him politically and with religious leaders and the
people, all because He is Who He is."
Gibson is beginning to experience first hand just how controversial
Christ is. Critics have not only speciously challenged the movie's
authenticity, but have charged that it is disparaging to Jews, which
Gibson vehemently denies. "This is not a Christian vs. Jewish thing.
'[Jesus] came into the world, and it knew him not.' Looking at Christ's
crucifixion, I look first at my own culpability in that." Jesuit Father
William J. Fulco, who translated the script into Aramaic and Latin,
said he saw no hint of anti-Semitism in the movie. Fulco added, "I
would be aghast at any suggestion that Mel Gibson is anti-Semitic."
Nevertheless, certain groups and some in the mainstream press have
been very critical of Gibson's "Passion."
The New York Post's Andrea Peyser chided him: "There is still
time, Mel, to tell the truth." Boston Glove columnist James Carroll
denounced Gibson's literal reading of the biblical accounts. "Even
a
faithful repetition of the Gospel stories of the death of Jesus can
do damage
exactly because those sacred texts themselves carry the virus of Jew
hatred,"
wrote Carroll. A group of Jewish and Christian academics has issued
an
18-page report slamming all aspects of the film, including its undue
emphasis on Christ's passion rather than "a broader vision." The report
disapproves of the movie's treatment of Christ's passion as historical
fact.
The moral is that if you want the popular culture to laud your work
on Christ, make sure it either depicts Him as a homosexual or as an
everyday sinner with no particular redeeming value (literally). In
our
anti-Christian culture, the blasphemous "The Last Temptation of
Christ" is celebrated, and "The Passion" is condemned. But if this
movie continues to affect people the way it is now, no amount of
cultural opposition will suppress its force and its positive impact
on
lives everywhere. Mel Gibson is a model of faith and courage.
