A BRAZILIAN PRIEST DIED DURING A SCREENING OF MEL GIBSON’S FILM “THE PASSION OF THE CHRI

Culture

Jose Geraldo Soares, a 43-year-old Presbyterian, has died during watching Mel Gibson’s controversial film “The Passion of the Christ”.

Friends denied that violence scenes of Christ's beating and crucifixion had caused Pastor Soares to expire.

Pastor Soares is the second person to die at a screening of the film. Peggy Law Scott, an American woman in her 50s, passed out last month during the crucifixion scene, when watching the film in Wichita, Kansas. She later died in hospital, after suffering a heart attack.

Aram A Armenian Catholicos finds nothing bad in that film and is against the stance that film screening is to be forbidden. He even commended the producer’s job.
