...about inclusive language. Imagine renewing your Baptismal vows like this:
Do you reject Satan?
And all her works?
And all her empty promises?
Oh, Sal! you say, You're just being snarky again! Why don't you say something nice about the Passion?
I found it to be emotionally and spiritually provocative to the extreme. I walked out of the theatre never wanting to sin again. The most moving scenes were those with Jesus and Mary together. In one of the flashbacks in particular you see something that Chesterton said he thought was hidden in the Gospels - Jesus' mirth.
The charges of anti-semitism and gore-for-the-sake-of-gore are utterly false. The ninnies who have been putting this forth in the media should take a look at this piece on NRO about an actual vicious, anti-semitic film.
And more evidence of real anti-semitism in Saudi Arabia.
I once dated a girl who made me consider that Satan was really a woman.
Naw, we like it if lucifer is a guy. :)
Good article from the NRO focusing on the misdirected attention on The Passion when a real anti-semetic film like Al-Shatat ("The Diaspora") was broadcast by the Syrians only last year.
The American media should give more attention to this.
Hey Eric! I think I dated that girl too!
I couldn't agree more regarding how moving are the scenes with Jesus and Mary in "The Passion."
