Sydney, Aug. 08 (CWNews.com) - Cardinal George Pell has asked actor Mel Gibson to stage a reenactment of the Crucifixion in Sydney, Australia, during World Youth Day there in 2008, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

The newspaper reports that the portrayal would begin with a staging of the Last Supper at the famous Opera House, and conclude with the Crucifixion in the city's cathedral. The Morning Herald indicated that Gibson has not yet responded to the invitation, but Cardinal Pell said, "He might well be attracted."

Sydney has not yet been announced as the site of the next worldwide observance for World Youth Day. But informed sources at the Vatican say that Cardinal Pell has been successful in making the case for holding the event in the Australian city.

The formal announcement of the next site for World Youth Day will be made by Pope Benedict XVI at the August 21 closing ceremonies for this year's observance, to be held in Cologne.
