I absolutely agree with you Veronica.

The Gospels are being followed exactly. As I have stated before, as Catholics we have never pointed fingers at the Jews, or anyone else in regards to the death of Jesus. (After all..Jesus was a Jew.) He knew the ramifications, and understood what he needed to do. As Jesus stated in the Gospel of John, "You would have no power were it not given from my father above."

I just think there is a mindset out there that wants to destroy anything related to God. I really don't see the ADL as really believing what they are saying.

Your thoughts?

God Bless!

I view this film as I did the Scorcese film The Last Temptation of Christ. As one director's vision/version of a historical event. It really does not have any religious meaning to me, since I am Jewish and do not view Jesus the way Christians do. But you would expect that, right?

In so far as the discussion around the film serves to enable Jewhaters, I find that disturbing, and I'd like to see Gibson address that straight up. But it's not the first movie to be surrounded by controversy, and it won't be the last. To me, it will be one director's vision, and I'll judge it as a film, good, bad or indifferent.
