After today, I don’t expect to be writing much about The Passion, not because of any defect in the movie, but because now that is has been released, I expect the furor to die down. Once people go to the movie and say for themselves, “Huh?” in response to all the hand-wringing of their “betters.”
So today, I am posting more about the movie than usual. For a whole raft of reviews, see National Review Online, including this piece by Roy Schoeman, a Jewish convert to Catholicism, who reveals the reason for all the hatred and fury poured out on Mel Gibson and the movie.
