[CS-FSLUG] THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST

[Christopher Rose]

The so-called "anti-semitic" claim is actually based upon a line in the movie that is NOT subtitled. That line is the one in which the priests say "Let his blood be on our hands" (I may have miswritten that, need to check gospel text for certainty).

In Christ,

Christopher
