Oh, that had to hurt.
My only critique of this letter is that it didn't come in the form of a petition.
All the anti-semitic violence, etc. the ADL and other Jewish leaders anticipated before this movie hit the theaters offended me greatly. I can only gather that they believe all Christians are rabidly anti-semitic just below the surface and 'The Passion' would be just that little push we needed to show our "true colors."
Apparently many of our own Bishops believe this is true as well. The verdict is in: The movie is a masterpiece - the fruits of which have been good and abundant. The Jewish leaders and our own Bishops owe Gibson and all Christians the world over an enormous apology.
Indeed. The fruits are just now starting to ripen. I'm hoping that with all the strong Marian imagery in the movie, many non-apostolic Christians will come to believe all that the Church has traditionally taught about the Blessed Virgin Mary.
