I’m watching an interview with Mel Gibson on a random channel I get on my cable in the bedroom (where I don’t have a cable box and the channels are scrambled). The logo on the screen says The World Over, which I take to be the name of the show.

Anyway, he just said something awesome responding to a question about why they held Mass every morning while filming The Passion. I think I got it exactly, but it’s a good paraphrase at the least:

Jim (Caviezel) and I were intent that we wouldn’t go to the set without being “armored up” because Dark Forces didn’t want this movie to be made.

In exciting news, my church is interested in renting a theater to show the movie. I’ve been tasked to research that, which I’m extremely happy to do. Woo!

UPDATE: It’s EWTN - the Catholic network.
