I'll reply with part of my note to Fr.Lasch:
"I hope that was an inaccurate quote, or that it was incomplete and that your intent was distorted. The Catholic Church has always maintained that Jesus' Immaculate Conception was necessary so that He would be the Perfect Sacrifice for the reconciliation of our sin. The Passion as brutal, and the movie accurately portrayed the barbarism visited on victims by the Roman torturers, as is easily supported by contemporary documents. True, the Gospels leave much to the imagination of the reader, much as
Scriptures do not describe the gory details resulting from a "stoning".

"Jesus' Immaculate Conception"
Please note that the Immaculate Conception refers to Mary, who was conceived without sin (preserved from original sin). Jesus was conceived by the Power of the Holy Spirit, a Divine Conception.
"O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee" Miraculous medal intercession
