Bad Movie

I received this from a friend the other day:

The movie Corpus Christi is due to be released this June to August.
This disgusting film set to appear in America later this year and it
depicts Jesus and his disciples as homosexuals! As a play, this has
already been in theatres for a while. It's called Corpus Christi ' which
means 'The Christ Body.' It's a revolting mockery of our Lord. But, we
can make a difference. That's why I am sending this e-mail to you. If you
do send this around, we may be able to prevent this film from showing in
America and South Africa. Apparently, some regions in Europe have already
banned the film. We need a lot of prayers and a lot of e-mails.

As a Christian I want to take a stand in what I believe in and stop the
mockery of Jesus Christ our Savior.

At the risk of a bit of inconvenience, I'm forwarding this to all I think
would appreciate it. Please help us prevent such offenses against our
Lord. It will take you less than 2 minutes! If you are not interested, and
do not have the 2 Minutes it will take to do this , please just delete
this, but ..remember, Jesus said 'Deny Me on earth and I'll deny you
before my Father'.


A quick google search shows that this is a hoax. Check out the following links:



From the Urban Legends website:

... as it currently stands there's no evidence anywhere — not in the trades, not in the entertainment magazines, nor on the many online movie news sites — that a "gay Jesus" film is now in production or even being considered for production. Moreover, these false alarms keep cropping up despite a quarter-century of efforts to disprove them...


... Returning to contemporary variants of the petition, I'm obliged to acknowledge that there's a grain of truth to them, namely the claim that a stage play exists portraying Jesus and the apostles as gay. Written by Terrence McNally, the play is called Corpus Christi and premiered in 1998. However, no plans to adapt it into movie form have ever been announced...


Please check it out for yourself before passing it onto others.
