Mel Gibson’s Jesus Christ Pose. “‘The Holy Ghost,’ Gibson has claimed, ‘was working through me on this film — and perhaps not for the first time. His canon may heavily favor jokey action thrillers and grandiose war pics, but closer scrutiny reveals that Gibson (…) has long been in piecemeal rehearsals for his divisive passion play. As his clout and asking price have increased over the decades, so has the degree of Christian overtones and iconography in his films.”

UPDATE: The Catholic League is collecting all the things people have been saying about Mel Gibson and The Passion on one page. Useful or obsessive. You decide.
