While "The Passion of the Christ" is not showing in Israel, an insulting movie about God was just released. God, wearing a tattered robe that exposes a large cross, sits sloppily in front of a television set on the roof when somebody appears and hands him a letter reminding him that on January 1, 2002 he has to send his son to Earth in order to redeem mankind. The story tells how Jesus comes to earth and meets lots of people and comes back to his father with a pair of shoes.

Nationally syndicated columnist Robert Novak reveals an important letter by Rep. Henry Hyde to Secretary of State Colin Powell. Hyde's letter is a plea to deflect Ariel Sharon's wall around the Holy Land from its planned position blocking the Scriptural pathway of Christ.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and other Christian leaders have told President Bush they are increasingly concerned about a security wall the Israeli government is building around the Holy Land.
