What does Mel Gibson's upcoming film have to do with it? Even nonCatholic Christians believe in the Passion of Christ, no? (and I don't remember these kind of articles when Lethal Weapon came out.)

[ultima ratio]

Mel Gibson's film is an orthodox rendition of the Passion--something that clearly interferes with the exaggerated ecumenism that eminates out of modernist quarters, particularly as it concerns the Jews. This is what makes AmChurch bishops nervous--they don't want the truths of the Passion bruited about, they want it suppressed in much the same way they have suppressed Catholic dogmas in the Novus Ordo. The bishops don't so much deny the truth as try to ignore it--and it is painful for them when others don't do the same.

Traditionalists not only don't ignore the truth, they shout it out from the rooftops--which is for modernists pretty unsettling. It's pretty hard to pretend Christ was NOT a sign of contradiction when it is obvious He was just this then as much as now. The bishops would much prefer that the truths of Catholicism be hidden and eventually be allowed to fade away through a studied lack of catechesis over several generations--in the interest of political correctness and leftwing ideology. This is why they have engineered a liturgy that disguises Catholic dogmas in an alien theology and rubrics.
