Why would anyone want to watch an enactment of torture?

If they don't like it, they don't need to attend. If a recreation of an historical event is upsetting to people, I question how equiped they are do deal with reality.

Gee whiz, I bet Mel agrees with this teaching of Vatican II:

In His goodness and wisdom God chose to reveal Himself and to make known to us the hidden purpose of His will (see Eph. 1:9) by which through Christ, the Word made flesh, man might in the Holy Spirit have access to the Father and come to share in the divine nature (see Eph. 2:18; 2 Peter 1:4). Through this revelation, therefore, the invisible God (see Col. 1;15, 1 Tim. 1:17) out of the abundance of His love speaks to men as friends (see Ex. 33:11; John 15:14-15) and lives among them (see Bar. 3:38), so that He may invite and take them into fellowship with Himself.

Dei Verbum

Maybe the good professor is referring to the teachings of the 'spirit' of Vatican II. Whoever that unnamed 'spirit' might be.
