This is not a "Christian" film, in the sense that it will appeal only to those who identify themselves as followers of Jesus Christ. ...

• Among other reforms, Vatican II replaced Latin mass with local-language services and issued the grievously belated Nostra Aetate, which absolved Jews from collective guilt in Christ’s death. In The Passion of Christ (on which Gibson and his production company Icon have spent some $25 million), the actors ahistorically converse in Latin (and Aramaic), and Gibson originally planned to eschew subtitles—perhaps to rekindle the wonder, or at least the bemusement, felt by the millions of Catholics who couldn’t understand much of mass pre-Vatican II. ...

• Conservative if not Traditionalist, Gibson’s typical onscreen persona might suggest a stoic priest surrogate, a complex martyr, even a Christ figure.

When Wallace refuses to confess to treason —like Christ, remaining mostly silent before his judge—he endures his own Stations of the Cross: pelted with rotten produce by a screaming mob, hung until barely conscious, put on the rack, laid out on a cross to be disemboweled, and at last decapitated. ...
• " Any practicing Catholic believes he, too, has been so salvaged, through Jesus’ Good Friday ordeal—his kenosis or emptying-out, in which the almighty Christ is debased and dehumanized by those he seeks to save.

The Passion of the ChristOverviewAnti-Semitism?Traditionalist Catholicsm Research resources on The Passion of The Christ Christianity in the West is undeniably in crisis. ... For Christians, The Passion is at once a challenge to re-examine the most problematic aspects of their faith, and an opportunity to share its most sublime mystery with others. ... Like the medieval passion plays from which it ultimately derives, like Bach's St Matthew Passion, like the Crucifixions and Pietàs, the Stabat Maters and Lamentations that haunt the Western imagination, The Passion is intended to arouse all the most powerful human emotions: not only pity, but indignation; not only awe, but remorse. ... It was understandable, even inevitable, that Jewish voices would be raised against an attempt to dramatise the very passages of the Gospels which, however distorted, inspired the deicidal imagery of the Jews as the murderers of Christ. ...
