And I happen to know he and Cal Thomas are friends. They are both theater junkies. Cal Thomas wrote glowingly of a book on theater that Frank Rich wrote years ago.
That's the thing about grown-ups. They can respectfully disagree on some things, still be friends, and not hurl invective at each other like so many schoolyard brats.
Good advice...for Frank Rich. Have you read any of his collumns attacking this movie, those involved and those who support it personally going back a year and a half?
I can link you to Frank Rich collumns if you were unaware of the infantile meltdown this writer has published for the world to see.
Well, that is the thing with criticism of The Passion. Left-wingers in general, and Frank Rich in particular, have a political/cultural problem with Christianity. Their Leftist designs include the grinding into powder the entire edifice of Western Civilization, in which Christianity is a major constituent. The Passion is a powerful Christian counter blow, and if it cannot be squelched, it must be contained. For this reason the hysterical attacks against The Passion and its creator. None more hysterical than Frank Rich.
Frank Rich's anti-Passion frothings have, I believe, been primarily from his perch on the NYT's Op-Ed page, not the Arts section. Yes, Veronica, Rich has been plenty political about The Passion.
