Traditionalist Catholics generally prefer to be referred to either simply as Catholics or Roman Catholic. In recent years, remarks by Gibson have generated accusations of homophobia, anti-Semitism, and racism; he has apologized repeatedly for the statements and denied that they represent his real opinions. Another big difference in the two movies is the fact that Mary, the Mother of Jesus, does not appear in “Superstar” at all yet she plays a major role in “The Passion”. This may be attributed to Mel Gibson’s Catholic background. It does follow the gospel more closely.

To her, the religious laws were more important than the governmental laws she was being asked to follow. Antigone and Creon would never see eye to eye on which law ultimately should be followed because of their own individuality. While Antigone had to pay the price for disobeying the governmental law, she ultimately had the right to give her brother a proper burial. One of the main themes in the play Antigone is Civil Disobedience. Often society has laws that individuals feel are immoral, or unjust.
The significance of the title is relative to the equal in-between state that marks the two main characters of Father Brendan Flynn and Sister Aloysius. Although based on real events, Doubt is a work of fiction, purposely constructed to make the viewer/reader think critically on the issue of moral ambiguity, most especially in the Catholic community. The play takes place in a time passed decades ago, in 1964, as if to lend a certain 21st century perspective on a time in America where change was rapidly taking place, and wherever there is change there is doubt as the chaotic new gives way to the traditional old. America’s ideals and images are changing as we see the birth of the Civil Rights Act, television reports of what is happening in Vietnam, and the aftermath of the JFK assassination. America as well as the Catholic Church is changing as it heads towards a millennial era.

JOURNAL OF ENGLISH STUDIES - VOLUME 5-6 (2005-2008), 105-117 GOD(S) FALL(S) APART: CHRISTIANITY IN CHINUA ACHEBE’S THINGS FALL APART1 ENRIQUE GALVÁN AND FERNANDO GALVÁN University of Alcalá ABSTRACT. This paper studies the confrontation between Christianity and the Igbo religion in Chinua Achebe’s first novel in the context of colonialist appropriation. An analysis of the techniques used by the Christian missionaries to infiltrate the fictional world of Umuofia is complemented with a discussion of the main characters of the novel in their relation to religion and their roles as facilitators or opponents of the colonization process. Gender issues are also briefly dealt with as Christianity is seen as “effeminate” by the natives and some female Igbo characters. Achebe has suffered the misfortune of being taken for granted: the intricate and deep structures that inform his narratives are rarely examined, except on an elementary introductory level, and the ideologies that inform his narratives and his theoretical reflections rarely seem to have the influence one would expect from Africa’s leading novelist.
