Charitably, URGE Director Mel Gibson to reconsider his choice of pro-abortion Katarzyna Smutniak to portray Our Lady in His Upcoming Movie ‘The Resurrection’.
The filming has already begun – TELL EVERYONE you know.
Mel Gibson is probably best known for directing The Passion of the Christ in 2004. He is also widely recognized as a practicing and struggling Catholic.
Sadly, he has now apparently decided to become infamous for choosing Smutniak, a publicly offensive, pro-abortion Polish actress to play the part of Mary Most Humble and Pure in this highly anticipated sequel.
Life Site News reports that “In 2020, after Poland tightened its laws against abortion, Smutniak posted a picture of herself on Instagram with disturbing pro-abortion messages written across her face — “This is war,” “the right to abortion.” “F*** off” — while offering a middle finger to those who oppose abortion.”
I originally awaited its release, but my conscience won’t leave me in peace after hearing of this choice to represent our most pure Mother.
Ask Mel Gibson to find an actress who better embodies the virtues of the Holy Mother of God rather than one who explicitly opposes them.
An online comment from David E. Wed, Oct 29, 2025, summarizes it quite well:
"Bad choice Mel, now I have no desire to see this movie. Of all the actresses he could have picked in the world, he picked a pro-abortion Polish actress? … This does not seem like a sane choice to me. I just don’t know what his thinking was."
This is definitely a grave offense to Jesus and Mary, and definitely a bad choice to represent Our Lady!
Please defend the honor of God and His Holy Mother Mary by telling Mel Gibson:
NO Pro-Abort Actress as Mary in the ‘Resurrection’ Sequel.
I pray you send in your petition as your heartfelt public prayer to urge Director Gibson to replace Ms. Smutniak NOW!
Console Our Lady’s sorrowful heart.
Sincerely yours, in Jesus and Mary,
Robert Ritchie; Executive Director
