Fruit

"Agree, scriptural studies involve a study of visions and apparitions which the Vatican is into"

And not all visions and apparitions have church approval. Emmerich's does not, and it's demonstrably anti-Semitic.

"You would know the tree by its fruits"

Listen to the media storm, to the cries from the Jewish community, to authorities from the Jewish community. The movie has inspired fear and mistrust in our Jewish brothers, and I as a Catholic--well, former Catholic--am ashamed of having another Catholic (so-called Catholic--remember Gibson rejects the Vatican) cause all this.

The fruit is out, but it's not over. Just wait when the movie hits Europe and the Middle East.
