More reason for liberals to like The Passion

As Joe Sobran and various others have pointed out, one complaint about the Passion movie is to call it “pornographic” because of its violence.
But apparently you can leave out the qualifier! The admirable Jesuit professor Fr. Ronald Tacelli gave a talk at my parish on Sunday, and mentioned the latest theory he’s heard from the cultured despisers of religion. Some people are saying that Passion is just plain porn: or gay porn, to be specific. Now that’s pretty ridiculous, Professor Tacelli says: if Mel Gibson were to turn the Crucifixion of our Lord into gay erotica, the liberals would be praising it! They’d say it’s “transgressive”!
