Saw this great article in the SMH today by Paul Sheehan: it centres on Mel Gibson’s upcoming film about the last 12 hours in the life of Christ, but really it’s about a shift in Christiantiy away from liberalism and, presumably, towards tradional or fundamental forms of faith.

This is not the kind of article that Paul Sheehan normally writes – he’s not the Herald’s religious affairs journalist, but he does write a lot about Australian culture. I found it very interesting that something like this is being picked up and observed, and making it to the front page of the website, by what is normally a liberal newspaper. I wonder what the ongoing significance of such observations will be.
