On opposite sides of the political and religious spectrum (in fact they fought one another, didn't they?), yet both came together to oppose Jesus? Interesting. Also interesting how you don't mention the Romans who actually performed the crucifiction.
So if both these groups bore "considerable responsibility", then if violence occurs specifically because of the Gibson movie, will you restrict blame to only those who commit the violence or will you be more generous in apportioning blame? As a supporter of the movie - and one who appears unconcerned about the sensibilities of the movie's critics (the ones who restrict their concerns to the possibility of violence) - how will you feel and what will you do? WWJD?
And possessing the additional strengh of being true.

Because the post was a response specifically associated with a discussion of the possible roles and responsibilities of the Jews with respect to pre-Vatican II teaching. So, maybe not that interesting after all, just sort of, what's the word I'm looking for...obvious, yeah, that's it!
