just the other bits.I’ve actualy seen the real spear that is in the movie. (Well the spear that the movie basis their one on) And its actually spot on when it comes to how the spear head looks. But thats where the similairties end. In the movie the was supposed to have belonged to the roman soldier who stab Jesus while he was on the cross. Butt he one in real life actually belonged to a roman general who was a Christian and when he wouldn’t bow down to the roman gods he was exucuted. Along with 300 hundred of his men, who also converted to Christianity and wouldnt bow down to their gods.I know its old but this was a odd movie. I know one cant look to Hollywood to get anything right, but was wondering from a Catholic view was* anything *right? I guess it bugged me the part about the angel being basically a jerk. Im not even asking about the voodoo part,
C’mon, this flick was based on a comic book character who can visit hell by putting his feet in a pan of water! That being said, I love it and have seen it several times. They got this right, though:I know its old but this was a odd movie. I know one cant look to Hollywood to get anything right, but was wondering from a Catholic view was* anything *right? I guess it bugged me the part about the angel being basically a jerk. Im not even asking about the voodoo part,
aside from the yada yada bits 
Obviously, the “Gabriel” is a semi-fallen angel: good intentions, bad execution.I know I know
but what about Gabriel the angel?
interesting, they pull things out of the air dont they?
yea I noticed that at the end she was still preaching God. But I just found it so distasteful to pick Gabriel to be so awful.
That seems to be the “popular opionion” of suicide however and good movie plot.
Thats a very good way to put it. I dont know, its a interesting movie. Bugs me at the same time, my hubby said dont make too much of it, hollywood you know. But was just wondering about the church parts and how true they were.
That was his gift, but he didn’t know how to use it, so he tried to “check out”. He can’t be totally faulted, though, because it’s tough to see things, that others don’t see, and not think that it’s you yourself who’s the crazy one.
True true, so do you think that gift has any “reality” ?
Of course.
Of course.
soo how do you think it may be, probably not as detailed I think, any thoughts??
I saw it - terrible movie. Didn’t make a lick of sense.I know its old but this was a odd movie. I know one cant look to Hollywood to get anything right, but was wondering from a Catholic view was* anything *right? I guess it bugged me the part about the angel being basically a jerk.

The parallel are uncanny I would say. Eve was taken out from the side of Adam. From Christ’s side, the Church was born, water and blood. Water symbolizes baptism, and blood is the Jesus’ blood to conquering sin and death.
I love those parallels.
Not with what you just said but mind you it was just couple days ago I heard the Eve then you say this today. But, Its a odd thing dont know with me Im always noticing different things, not necessarily connected, I shelf them and sooner or later something else come up. sometimes they connect sometimes it takes a bit. Like I said they always pop out at me. The Eucharist Im slowly working on and well Mom baptisted my oldest bro but didnt my other bro and me. The troubles you know, religion dividing, left it to us to decide. Didnt even go for a dip in the Baptist church I went to for several yrs. Our son did a while ago, hubby did yrs ago. Guess I have to get the ole fur wet sometime. I consider this a gentle reminder, as I dont believe in concidence. I think there are two types of people: those who can see demons, and those who can’t.
ps yes you are feeling a picking at your brain
