Review by Stephen Tronicek
At about the 87 minute mark of the Fathom Event Easter Mysteries , the show ends, the cast takes a bow and a panel of ministers from each of the major religions sits to talk about how the show made them feel. How it was a show that didn’t insult anybody. This is actually an oddity in the Catholic “Passion” storytelling scene. Most of the time representations of this story insult people: from the controversial final act of Martin Scorsese’s masterful The Last Temptation of Christ, the rampant gore and sadism of The Passion of the Christ, and the comical The Life of Brian many of the versions of this story tend to be a problem.
That’s almost the point though. The universal story of the Passion is so ingrained into culture, or middle class white American culture that a straightforward retelling of the story...
