According to Ephraim Borowski, director of the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities, who’s actually sat through the movie, the gibbering Gibson’s gore-fest, whatever the intent, has an implicit anti-Semitic sub-text.

But since we never see the movies before banning them, it's handy to know that our Jewish mate reckons the Gibson film is anti-Jewish, so naturally we’ll be telling our flock to give it the bum’s rush."

We are assured that The Church will not suddenly reject its previous pre-censorious attitude for some reason and actually encourage fellow Tims to see this particular movie.
