The Gospel of Thomas is by the Gnostic denomination which was founded in 125 A.D. and became virtually nonexistent after around 1400 A.D. due to lack of membership.

The "Aramaic" Frankie writes on the wall, is actually ancient Hebrew, because Rupert Wainwright thought looked more intriguing.

Goofs

In the scenes in Brazil, people are speaking Spanish and Portuguese with Portuguese accents, not Brazilian accent. It would be like an American countryside movie with English actors playing the roles with cockney accent.

When Frankie is being whipped on the subway train, there is a cut scene of a closeup of her face where there is blood on the side of her mouth. In all continuing shots after this, the blood is gone.

Father Andrew Kiernan states that monks invented alcohol. Even if one grants Kiernan the benefit of the doubt and assumes that he is referring exclusively to alcoholic beverages, he is still wrong. The ancient Egyptians were drinking beer back in 3000 B.C.E., if not before.

Faq

Why is Thomas' message so dangerous to the Catholic Church?

The Gospel of Saint Thomas is said to be written by Jesus Christ himself to his apostles. Jesus' admonition that God can be found everywhere, not just in buildings, would negate the need for churches. This would be a deathblow to the Catholic hierarchy as well as all other churches and institutions that require membership in order to be certified as a Christian.

What are stigmata?

Stigmata are the marks resembling the crucifixion wounds from Jesus Christ's crucifixion, most often on the hands and feet. In the movie, Frankie is also plagued with whip slashes on her back and punctures from the crown of thorns placed on His forehead.

What does Frankie say in Aramaic?

In full, the message is: 'The Kingdom of God is inside you and all around you. Not in mansions of wood and stone. Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift a stone, and you will find me.' It's an excerpt from the Gospel of Thomas.
