and they hadn’t even seen it! The content of the film is what needs to be examined to see if the film has merit or not. To my shock, I have even heard more than one Christian say the film is a tool of the devil, corrupted, and promotes Roman Catholicism. Some Christians have fallen into this error because Mel Gibson is a Roman Catholic and they decry the movie for that reason. The genetic fallacy is the error of argumentation that attempts to endorse or disqualify a claim (or movie) because of the origin of the claim. This latter complaint is known as the genetic fallacy. Some Christians are complaining that we should avoid the movie because it was made by a Roman Catholic who, I have heard, stated he wants it to help promote Roman Catholicism. And, of course, let’s not leave out Protestants. Segments of Hollywood have decried the movie as a waste of time and nothing more than a religious self-cathartic effort of Mr. Some Jewish leaders worry that the film might incite anti-Semitism.
If an R-rated movie about Jesus weren’t enough in itself to cause controversy, fuel has been added to the fire by a host of disparate critics. It is a violent and graphic depiction that displays with great detail the painful ordeal of Christ. The movie “The Passion” by Mel Gibson is an account of 12 hours of Christ’s ministry dealing with His trial and crucifixion.
