  So your argument is that the Anti - Defamation League would reject the "Scripture interpretations" of Orthodox rabbis? And that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops would reject the "Scripture interpretations" of eminent theologians on the faculties of Catholic universities? What a bizarre notion!

  > > a non-PC interpretation < <

  That's definitely an idiosyncratic way of characterizing The Passion's completely fabricated scene showing the cross being built inside the Temple by Romans obeying the orders of Jewish religious officials, to cite one example. So you're saying that accurately portraying the relationship between the subjugated Jews and their Roman overlords is mere political correctness? I presume you'd also say that a Civil war movie that showed black plantation masters owning white slaves was just a "non-PC interpretation" rather than complete bullsh!t that grossly distorted the historical record?

  Yet you kept bringing up those subjects. Weird.

    I'm a little late but I'd like to join in. If you would read Matthew Chapter 26 starting at verse 47 and read until you end with verse 26 of chapter 27 it will be very clear who killed Jesus.
    However that is really not important. Shocking isn't it. Jesus and all those involved were only doing God's will and fulfilling prophesy. Jesus even stated that.

      No one knows what REALLY happened back then, who the mythical Jesus actually was or the circumstances surrounding any crucifixtion, much less the "documented" resurrection. We're too far removed from the events and subsequent interpretations. Perhaps the immortal Keith Richards knows, but it's doubtful that the late Steve Marriott will provide any clues. ;^)

      As far as Mel Gibson's The Passion goes, we should be at least cogniscent of modern-day audience reactions and perhaps a little more sympathetic to those concerned about a potential increase in prejudice against Jews.

      Cheers,
