The San Jose Mercury Newspaper has a horrible review of the movie saying the movie was anti-Semetic. However, online they have a place for people to write comments about the movie. Most of the comments are very positive about the movie, and were blasting the paper for it's review.
The comments were great.

It is MANDATORY for any person in the media to preface mentioning the name of the film with The CONTROVERCIAL film, the Passion of the Christ.
Granted, "Some" paranoid Jews object to it. Jews represent 3% of America, and paranoid Jews represent perhaps one tenth of that? So how is it that the objection of such a few makes it mandatory for all Christian reporters to preface the name of the film with the qualification of "controversial"? These so called Christians in the media, who don't have the balls to vocally support their religion, will be denied in haven!

I loved Frequency, too. Quaid and Caveziel were both outstanding. And I was a BIG Mets fan in 69 - really a magical season.
Of course, Quaid was fantastic in The Rookie.
I wonder how his new movie, The Alamo, will be? He's a native Texan, so it BETTER be right!

Most of us idiots wouldn't go to a theater to watch the soft porn that Sodomwood cranks out if you paid us. This movie is going to be a Blockbluster and no children in the audiences?? Praise Jesus!!
Pray for W and The Passion of The Christ

He was great in Frequency too. I recommend owning that one on DVD.

Darn.
I must've missed that.
I noticed Leno went from snide jokes to ultra-polite as soon Mel came on.
Good.....:))

You know, I've been very pessimistic over the direction in which our nation and its people have been heading Very well written post and I agree with you. But don't be surprised if people like Jorge come on and tell you that things have never looked better; that you are a loser for perceiving any flaw in the Great Bush Society.

Thanks for the resources. It's hard for me to understand what they mean, but I think I'm grasping it. Basically, Latin can and is used today in many congregations, right? Other "traditional" practices (such as?) are not in violation of modern Church teachings, I can gather.
Is Gibson an admitted sedevacantist? I take it that the Tridentine Roman Missal may still be practiced, and is even welcomed by the today's church leaders. I had understood that one of Vatican II's reforms in allowing the missal to be conducted in the primary language of a congregation was simply to make worship more accessible for those who preferred the vernacular.
Apparently some sedevacantists, possibly Mel's father Hutton, believe there has been no pope since the conclave that elected John XXIII was "subverted by a Jewish/Masonic conspiracy." This quote describing Hutton's attitudes is taken from a critical article in Catholic Citizens of Illinois called Tribune Media Turns to Dissenters to Mislead Catholics: Sneering Through Gibson's PASSION.

(Out of curiosity, I wonder how many parents are taking their children to see this?)We went with a single mother friend on opening night. She is bringing her 13-year-old twins today and we will accompany them. We can't wait to see it again. Every parent I know is seeing the movie first, before deciding whether they will bring their children. I wish more parents would preview/judge the appropriateness of the content of EVERY film and TV show, as well as that of songs, books, and other forms of artistic expression before giving their permission to their children to have at it. I also wish more parents would discuss the content of these things after the fact with their children in the same way/to the same extent that parents are discussing "The Passion" with their offspring. Perhaps this movie will be the beginning of such a movement. ( :
