Just read over on Drudge that the ADL (why did they change their name from the JADL?) claims to have seen it, and oh, woe, it's antisemitic and bigoted and boo hoo hoo.

I am really seriously put out with those wankers.

We already knew,” writes Fredriksen in The New Republic, “that Gibson's efforts to be ‘as truthful as possible’ (his own words in the Times) would be frustrated by the best sources that he had to draw on, namely, the Gospels themselves.”

If by this she means that it is impossible for write history if we must view the facts from sveral different reporters, then that means that no history can tell the truth. Of course, I am being ironical. But what else does SHE do when she writes a book but to work to produce a coherent view by using all available sources?

IMO Mary C. Boys should not be teaching in a seminary, Catholic or otherwise. Teachers like her are a huge reason why our priests of the last 40 years or so are so often mal-formed.

Since the American bishops won't clean house on the seminaries and "Catholic" universities, the Holy Father should, and with haste. He probably ought to retire a bunch of the bishops and send many priests to the cloisture also.

Even though such a purging would exacerbate the priest shortage, we would be better served by not having snake oil pushed on us, our children, and our seminarians.

[As you well know...]

When Gibson threatened to sue both the ADL and the USCCB over the matter, the USCCB apologized to him.

Ha Ha Ha....That says a lot about our Bishops. They were scared to action by a lie and they never even FIRST took the time to speak with Mel Gibson before denouncing his film.

If such things as Teaching, Ruling and Sanctifying, intrude upon the polticial obsessions of the USCCB, they do so only infrequently.

Nearly every news item about this unfortunate group reminds me what a tragic modern error it was to create such bureaucratic structures as the USCCB.

An increase in "collegiality" has led to a decrease in Bishops neglecting their duties and acting in a manly and militant fashion.

Consensus has disolved committment and issuing documents substitutes for virility and zeal in defending the Faith.

I'm not afraid to call partial birth abortion infanticide, for that's what it is. I'm not ashamed to say that abortion degrades women, for that's what it does. As a Jew, I'm not wrong to refer to what supporters call "choice" as an American Holocaust, for that's what it has become.

We haven't reached that point where we are immune to films, lectures and images of genocide; we are still capable of being horrified and desiring change. My prayer is that our current level of discomfort becomes unbearable and tortures us so, that we shudder and tremble at the prospect of such a dreadful future for our children.

Abortion is anti-Semitic. Is the ADL anti-Semitic?

May Our Lord and His Blessed Mother move their hearts, and all hearts, to welcome and adore the Truth that is Jesus Christ, and may Mel Gibson's Passion become, in the end, a worthy instrument for this noble end.
