Chuck Colson says Hollywood’s skittish

refusal to distribute Mel Gibson’s The Passion, presumably over fears that

it will be seen as anti-Semitic, reflects a double

standard. Writes

Colson, “Gibson’s defenders include Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver. He

wrote that he found it ‘puzzling and disturbing that anyone would feel

licensed to attack a film of sincere faith before it has even been

released.’ He reminded Gibson’s liberal critics that when The Last

Temptation of Christ-an attack on the historic Jesus-came out, ‘movie

critics piously lectured Catholics to be open-minded and tolerant. Surely

that advice should apply equally for everyone.’”
