I guess this priest believes the crucifixion was really just primarily comprised of harsh words.

I guess this priest believes the crucifixion was really just primarily comprised of harsh words. Much worse than that - the Romans gave Jesus a "time-out."

"I saw it as religious barbarism ... in my opinion, God did not send his son to die,'' said Lasch, of St. Joseph's Church of Mendham. "God sent his son to live, to be faithful. And in being faithful, it cost him his life.'' Lasch, who saw the movie Thursday, also said the film's uncompromising, in-your-face approach reflects a growing divisiveness and belligerence within the major religions.
I say bully for the in-your-face approach. I'm so sick of listening to priests like Lasch that I have really have no words. As far as I'm concerned, they can GET OUT.

The Rev. Kenneth Lasch, a veteran Catholic priest, said he was repelled...."God sent his son to live, to be faithful. And in being faithful, it cost him his life.'' The good Father better put down John Paul Sartre's books and read his catechism a bit more closely...Jesus willingly died to redeem the sins of humanity...not just because he was fated to do it. Sounds like the padre has been reading too must existentialism.

NJ Catholic priest appalled by "The Passion'' he described the film as "religious barbarism." One must wonder what this Catholic priest thought of the abuse that was visited upon Jesus Christ. Was it not "barbarism?"

For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures.

God didn't send his son to die? This Catholic priest doesn't believe in the Bible. Odd no?

Something tells me that this priest would be offended by Christ Himself.

"As I was sitting at the end of movie I thought, 'This is not bringing us together,''' he said. "This is increasing the separation.'' Just like the good sheep and the bad sheep will be separated at the end of the world, eh Rev?

"in my opinion, God did not send his son to die"
I think the problem with this statement starts in the first three words.

Meanwhile, a rabbi from River Edge said the movie could bring Jews and Christians closer, despite the film's insistence that it was the Jews who pushed for the execution of Jesus.I will somewhat echo the poster who said it is not THE Jews, it was at best SOME Jews! (There are plenty of other readings, including that Jesus' actions leading to the execution call us all to account -- if he died for our sins, are we not at fault? If he died because the Jews pushed for execution, then where in that is the salvation for the Gentiles?)
And look further at the movie itself: It was a Jew who protested the council's actions, it was a Jew who asserted Jesus' innocence before the council, they were Jews who called upon the soldiers to stop, it was a Jew(ish woman) who tried to bring Jesus the cup, it was a Jew who carried Jesus' cross and eventually, lovingly, Jesus himself as he "walked a mile in His shoes."

Not really that odd. Just because one stands in a garage doesn't mean one is a car.
To: Paul Atreides
Yea, they ignore that some of the jews were disgusted by the railroading and refused to take part.
