Enough Already

I’ve had a couple of things to say about the moronic debate surrounding Mel Gibson’s upcoming film The Passion which you can read here and here. The first link is to the initial disclosure of the Pope’s so-called utterings on the film and the second link will take you comments on Frank Rich’s delusional condemnations of the Pope “hawking” the film.

Peggy Noonan has weighed in on this a couple few times also, but I point you now to her most recent response to the latest revelations of the Pope said or the Pope didn’t say, which, according to Peggy, matters.

Three, very brief excerpts, from Noonan’s piece with my comments following.

"The truth matters."

Indeed it does, but in this instance, it is simply a tempest in a teapot.

"What a pope says matters."

Indeed it does not, unless you are a slave to the pope or Catholic church.

"And what this pontiff says about this film matters."

Again, it does not.  A film is simply a film.  What the pontiff’s opinion of the film is matters not one iota, unless you are under the delusion that the pontiff is paving the way for you into heaven.  Which I don’t think he is, unless he has managed to totally extricate the board from his own eyes.

I shall say no more on this.
