In a society where the government is so hostile to religion that even the Ten Commandments are not welcome; where every cultural megaphone from Disney to the Teacher's Union preaches nature worship to children, this guy gets torqued because it was a Catholic who rammed a movie about Jesus Christ past the Hollywood "elite" and onto 4,000 movie screens.
Hello? The threat to Evangelical Christianity is not Mel Gibson. Never mind whether he's Catholic. Worry about Mel Gibson when you're done with the ACLU and the liberal judges. In case you haven't noticed, those people are out to stamp out Christianity altogether, and they are getting real good at it. |

I've learned to look for your posts. They are usually clear, cogent and very much to the point. You have outdone yourself. Kudos.

One reason Abe Foxman and his merry band of Christophobes hate this movie so much is that Christians clearly like it. Abe et al aren't really worried that film will stir up anti-Semetic sentiment. That simply is not going to happen in America. What worries them is the fear it might stir up pro-Christian sentiment. That's what really keeps them awake at night.

Exactly. It's like fighting with your kid brother when the wolves are at the door. Stupid and pointless. I'm a protestant, I've seen it, and I ain't switching to the Catholic church as a result. Any Christian that misses the film misses an opportunity to see the best rendition of the passion story ever put on film.

Good post. Mel Gibson would be the least of the evangelicals' problem.
