Have you ever heard of any Christian from any tradition to be "offended" by Mary?

Melanie Cogdill (Managing Editor of the Christian Research Journal), and her guest Cole Brette, are tackling a most difficult subject about how the rise of "Divided audiences" must be satisfied when Christian Themed movies are made, such as The Passion Of The Christ (Newmarket Films, 2004), Amazing Grace (20th CENTURY FOX - 2006), The Final Inquiry (20th CENTURY FOX - 2007), Risen (AFFIRM - 2016), and multiple others. I discern that Cole Brette justly answered that the "Mary (2024)" film was not good, but it is not hurtful for Christians to watch. But, the separate commentor, here, says let's look closer: Director D. J. Caruso, who is a practicing Catholic, was inspired to tell the story of Mary in a "Human and relatable" way for audiences; he stated, "I wanted to inspire, particularly younger viewers to say, 'Wow, Mary could be my friend.' " We must not overlook those audience members from the Eastern Orthodox Christian denomination, who, between they and Roman Catholicism, claim that they have the correct placement of Biblical Mary. Joel Osteen, a leader in the cult-like Word of Faith Movement, served as the executive producer of the film, so some BIG false prophet name had to be involved to better assure that the film sells. The Christian Research Institute (President Hank Hanegraaff) has Biblically shown where the Word of Faith Movement is taking God's word out-of-context, and forfeiting Biblical truth for the attaining of material and earthly prosperity. This reveals why it is so hard for Christian Film Directors to accomplish explicit Christian movie themes. Otherwise, in order for Christian Film Directors to get a Biblical Christ-centered themed point across to the movie audience, and in order for the movie to be a commercial seller, the modern way has now often (Not always) relied off of getting the Biblical story across by incorporating the theme only, which the audience must pick up and follow, without the movie specifying what the movie theme is based on, such as the movie "Narnia." While the said movie progresses, anyone who has heard and believed in Christ's suffering, death, and resurrection, will begin to pick up the Narnia theme: A "Lion" character portrays the earthly life of Christ, his suffering, death, and resurrection. Another example of Biblical themes where the specified theme and exact names of Biblical persons, are hidden using some other name, is the C.S. Lewis Cosmology Setting, depicting "War in heaven (Revelation 12: 7-10)" between angels and demons, in his Sci Fi Space Trilogy. The guest, Cole Brette, in this CRI Presentation, mentions a person which he cannot name, and this un-named person is a known prominent Christian author, and who has many awards for best-selling books. The un-named Christian author, who consistently published with Christian publishers, at one point began to dabble with "Thrillers," but even these were a hard sell, because the un-known author had consistently published with Christian publishers. The un-named author, who Cole Brette interviewed, eventually told Cole Brette that the biggest mistake he ever made was publishing exclusively with Christians. The guest, in this CRI Presentation, Cole Brette, uses the noun phrase "Organized religion" as playing a less central role in both public and intellectual life, because of secularization, as practical reasons for why movie production, with explicitly Christian themes, are less popular and less accessible. "Organized religion" is religion in which belief systems and rituals are systematically arranged and formally established, typically by an official doctrine: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and the Baha'i Faith. When secularism emphasizes beliefs, it perpetuates Christian traits under a different name.
