>>those noisily protesting this unseen film are touting the opinion of "authorities" whose Scripture interpretations on most any other subject they'd most certainly reject out of hand<<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?
>>I'm not "trying to drag homosexuality, abortion, and divorce into a discussion about a movie"<<
Yet you kept bringing up those subjects. Weird.
