I'm protestant, not Catholic, and I have to say I loved the movie and thought it was very well done - both technically and artistically, but also theologically. I would have done a few things different, but that could be my protestantism thinking than any accurate biblical interpretation.

But overall, a fantastic movie.

And it's violent, but I never thought it was gratuitous or overdone (except that there is a lot of blood loss, but that doesn't really detract from the rest of it). I thought the violence was accurate and appropriate.

I think you'll have a meaingful experience - esepcially with time to discuss and talk about it afterward with fellow co-religionists. I missed the chance to see with it my church, sadly, and ended up seeing it with my 7th Day Adventist brother-in-law who didn't know much about the Jesus to begin with so our discussion time was rather thin, most of it being spent answering his questions. :-)
