Dear Mr. Gibson,
I applaud you for being obedient to God's leading in the making of "The Passion of The Christ." The movie touched many lives and even converted many to the Christian Faith. It should have won many Oscars. As I am sure you know, there has been an on going debate amongst Christians of different denominations as to who is considered Christian and not due to emphasis on certain church doctrines. God, through you has confirmed that Catholics are as much a part of the Body of Christ as Baptists, Methodists, etc.
Though I am of another Christian denomination, I can personally attest to God using Catholics just as other Christians. A few years ago, my father was traveling on an airplane where he met a deacon from a Catholic Church who was traveling to a gathering of Christian Men called "The Promise Keepers." My father and the deacon began conversing and my father told the deacon about me, his son, who at the time, was a struggling actor in California. The deacon told my father that when he got to the Promise Keepers that he would lift me up in prayer. Shortly after this happened, I started getting called to go out on a lot of auditions and I booked several commercials and a television sitcom back to back to back. I hadn't learned of the encounter my father had with the deacon until after the fact. This to me was yet another confirmation that Catholics, Baptists, Pentecostals, Methodists, Lutherans, and Protestants alike are all member of The Body of Christ. Matthew 18:19 says "Where two or three agree as touching, anything they ask shall be done by my father in heaven." God bless and keep up the great work!
