Heads-up on Problematic Movie "Habit"

[convertingtocatholic]

Sorry I wasn’t sure of what to put this under.

A new film, titled “Habit,” will give a portrayal of Jesus Christ played by a female. Paris Jackson, a “bisexual” musician and daughter of the late Michael Jackson, plays the part as a “gender- bending” Christ with a nose ring. Filming for the production has finished and is currently under development. According to reports:

"[Paris] Jackson …will play Jesus in the feature about a street-smart party girl with a Jesus fetish who gets mixed up in a violent drug deal and finds a possible way out by masquerading as a nun. Donovan Leitch, 852 Films, Martingale Pictures, Voltage Pictures, Cloudlight and Elevated Films are producing…

“Jackson is the daughter of the late Michael Jackson…” (ScreenDaily.com; emphasis added)

The petition says the following:

To: Elevated Films,

I object to the film “Habit,” which portrays Our Lord Jesus Christ as a “gender bending” female.

This is a mockery of the Sacred Person of Christ and an offensive blasphemy to numerous Christians.

I urge you to cancel this offensive film at once.

Stop blaspheming Our Lord!

Sincerely

I’m 100% confident that the makers of this film already know that “this is a mockery of the Sacred Person of Christ and an offensive blasphemy to numerous Christians,” and in fact that is the precise reason why they made the film.

Signing the petition merely confirms to them that their gambit was a success.

I’m also quite confident that they are counting on Christians to spread the word of their film through online petitions, desperate social media posts, outraged Fox News commentaries, and scandalized threads on Christian forums.

In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if the deputy assistant social media manager of that film company’s advertising arm wrote that petition themselves.

I never heard of this movie until I read this thread. The problem with pushing back like this is that it gives the movie publicity.

Genesis 6:5

And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Me neither. It also does not sound so much like a film about a female Jesus, as it sounds like a film about a confused young woman living a dissolute life, yet seeking some connection to what’s holy (the word “Habit” meaning both a drug habit and a religious habit). Of course, I could be wrong.
