French Bishops, in Union with Rome, condemn the Passion. Hmmmmm.......

[thoughtomator]

I find that if I replace "French" with "perfidous hypocrite", everything makes more sense.

[cinnathepoet]

Well, looks like the French will now go in droves to see the "controversy." Thanks, Bishops.

Well, you see, we can't possibly have clear lines drawn between good and evil, how could the french possibly survive if they had to make a hard decision like that?

[dancusa]

The french would prefer watching the 'Passion of Jerry Lewis'.

[I still care]

"both secular film critics and (French)Church leaders denouncing"

LOL. Is there a difference?

I don't think they would know a Christian if it bit them in France. Maybe this is why their churches are so empty?

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-- having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them"

I guess issuing a statement was the best way to get their message across -- if these bishops made these comments inside Catholic churches in France on a Sunday morning there would have been nobody around to hear them.

Most people may not know this, but in France all of the Catholic churches and schools are owned by the government.

The French outraged about the horrific violence in Falusia burning men alive beyond recognition, dismembering them and hanging their bodies off a bridge? No, they are upset about Jesus in the Passion of the Christ... How how very "french," how very typical. /disgust

[AnalogReigns]

Considering that literally 98% of French "Catholics" never attend Mass, the opinions of the (failed) French Bishops doesn't mean much, does it?

[MissAmericanPie]

I wonder if the bishops kick up as much a fuss over the burning of Jewish synogues by members of Islam as they are over this movie?

[RussianConservative]

Ahh and what would Muslim French know of Christian faith?

[Cronos]

Check out the source PAKISTANI ISLAMMIC newspapers. And Isalmmmies tell lies all the time, this must be another lie.

[Aquinasfan]

The French bishops need a spiritual enema.
