I'm simply curious why Catholic scholars, who would likely find many pages of errors in treatises favorable to other controversial subjects like divorce, abortion, and homosexuality, are found to be so very, very correct and reliable here. RC scholars also condemned the inaccuracies of "The Last Temptation", but in that case the film and cultural elite had no use for their complaints. It sure looks like "cherry picking" to me;, i.e., using only what you agree with and ignoring everything else.From what I've read, virtually none of those who are so strongly attacking this film have seen it or read its actual script. Do you doubt similar pressures aren't being applied in the distribution business? Isn't pressure to change artistic content censorship...or is that only when it comes from the Right?
If it is anti-semetic, I believe the broad public will reject it and it will be clearly identified as such. But please...shouldn't we see it before condemning it?
