Michael Coren on The Passion: "Hideous, stupid and barbaric"

This is some pre-Vatican II Roman Catholic blood cult. It is populated with medieval-type caricatures, screaming out of context, laughing at suffering. Everyone is gruesome and grotesque, apart from a handful of people such as the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene and the apostle John. Mary, by the way, is hardly off of the screen, when in fact she is seldom mentioned in the Gospel accounts... I wanted majesty and pathos but was given clumsiness and thumping. Yet God's grace and His love still surround me. If the movie works for you, I am happy. For me, it is prayer, Bible and a dwelling in a God-given imagination that this hyped Hollywood product can never rival.

Not like Michael to have an opinion, eh?
