Witness in Hollywood: Caviezal

Our Blogger

Fr. Joseph Jenkins
The blog header depicts an important and yet mis-understood New Testament scene, Jesus flogging the money-changers out of the temple. I selected it because the faith that gives us consolation can also make us very uncomfortable. Both Divine Mercy and Divine Justice meet in Jesus. Priests are ministers of reconciliation, but never at the cost of truth. In or out of season, we must be courageous in preaching and living out the Gospel of Life. The title of my blog is a play on words, not Flogger Priest but Blogger Priest.

Witness in Hollywood: Caviezal

Posted on March 24, 2017 by Father Joe

Jim Caviezel (pictured here on the left from PERSON OF INTEREST) is well-known as a practicing Catholic. He asked the director of ANGEL EYES, one of his first big roles, if he could change the sex scene in the movie to simply him kissing Jennifer Lopez, because he felt uncomfortable with it and thought the scene was unnecessary. The director agreed. He would become famous as Jesus in THE PASSION. It was reported recently in the news that he gave up the lead role in CBS’ upcoming Navy SEAL drama pilot over “creative differences.”
