Why is the Vatican against "The Son of God" movie?
score:3
Accepted answer
There are many inaccuracies and omissions (listed roughly from worst to less worse):
The piercing of the side of Christ didn't show blood and water spewing out!
Mary Magdalen was constantly a tag-along with the disciples: when they were in the tempest in the sea and even during the "laying on of hands" after the Resurrection!
Mother Mary was not in the Upper Room!
Peter denied Christ 3× in the morning, in broad daylight, not before the c**k crow, which we didn't even hear!
Peter's faith was portrayed as though it, not Peter himself, was the rock upon which the Church is built, as though our faith makes the Church. This is Protestant ecclesiology. The Church still exists even when we are unfaithful.
"The gates of hell will not prevail" etc. was omitted in Jesus' saying Matt. 16:18.
"Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil" was omitted from the Our Father.
The renting of the veil was not explicitly shown.
Jews, Catholics, and Protestants were all consulted in making this film, so your Maronite priest friend is right about it being more Freemasonic, syncretistic, or naturalistic than Christian.
