Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ" is actually based upon the traditional 14 Stations of the Cross. I hope all Catholics saw "Veronica's Veil" discretely placed in the movie. Did you?
Of Course, the Stations of the Cross ends with the 14th Station.
I wonder what popular Catholic devotion Mel Gibson's the "Resurrection of the Christ" will be based? But this is indeed Good News, or shall I say, Gospel? I sometimes I wonder if that very good Catholic, Jim Caviezel isn't really Jesus!
USA Today
Jim Caviezel is very much on board with director Mel Gibson's plan to
shoot a sequel to The Passion of the Christ. Caviezel, 49, confirmed he
will reprise his role as Jesus in the planned film about the
resurrection of Christ. "There are things that I cannot say that will
shock the audience," he says. "It's great. Stay tuned." Earlier: Mel
Gibson readying return to his 'Passion' project Gibson and his star have
been tight-lipped on details of how the new film will move forward.
But the actor says he's been inspired in his talks with Gibson by the
direction the project is taking. "I won’t tell you how he’s going to go
about it," Caviezel says. "But I’ll tell you this much, the film he’s

Would be an interesting film to watch though I suspect it will be maligned given the controversial nature of its producer.
Separately, and, regarding your masthead, though Cardinal O'Malley looks great, I don't know that I see him as a true friend of tradition. I believe he takes a more 'pastoral' view of SP as opposed to outright promotion (e.g. Morlino). Also, it would also help the communion on the tongue effort if he and others turned their hands so they are positioning their hand and our Lord to be perpendicular to the communicant (apologies if I'm not describing this properly, example below). This way, when distributing, they could use their thumbs to effectively snap the consecrated host on the communicant's tongue therefore not touching their mouth. The coin slot method results, at times, in fingers touching the recipient's mouth, them having to clamp down on our Lord to not drop the host and results in the bad press against more this more proper way of distributing.

ByzRC, good point. You can tell when you have surprised a pastor who is practised at Communion on the tongue. Some will stick their own tongues out, like when you feed a baby! LOL! FWIW, the method you describe that works so well is exactly the same way one should hold a mandolin pick.
