Title: Misguided
Product review: While Mary Mother of Jesus has some decent acting for a TV special, its portrayal of Mary is fundamentally misguided. The Mary portrayed here is a cross between a feisty feminist icon and the sinless, deathless Goddess of Roman Catholic piety.The Mary that ISN'T portrayed is the Mary of the Gospels - a good woman with her own set of strengths and flaws who ultimately played a key role in salvation.Note: the theology of this film is PURE Roman Catholicism and is likely to offend other Christian groups. (For example, John the Baptist is shown dribbling water on people and saying Catholic-sounding comments like "Wash your sins away with water." I doubt the Baptists in the audience appreciate that much.)
