P.S.

The Passion plays as a genre have a particularly ugly history in Europe, btw.

Excerpts from today's NYT account of the reactions of a panel of religious leaders:

...the movie deviated in bizarre ways from the Gospel accounts,...horrified to see the Jewish high priests rendered as bloodthirsty schemers demanding Jesus' death over the protests of a sympathetic Pontius Pilate...Mr. Gibson has depicted his film as a true recounting of the last 12 hours of Jesus' life. But the Christian and Jewish clergy at the table were troubled by embellishments that they said had no basis in Scripture...

... the film's sympathetic treatment of a Roman governor [Pontius Pilate] so brutal he was eventually recalled from his post... Inaccuracies...
