...surprised to read that Mel Gibson's film The Passion has mostly offended Jewish groups [MOVIES, Sept. 1]. If he were being faithful to the text, surely far more people would be offended because the Bible implicates Judas, the Romans, everyone who has ever sinned and even God in the death of Jesus.

The Pope did appear to bounce back a bit after his return from Slovakia, meeting with diplomatic delegations and reading most of the text during his Wednesday general audience. Senior aides insist that proposed trips to France, Poland and Mexico next year haven't been ruled out. But the day may be near when the Pope is simply a silent presence. "We are rewriting the entire Roman rite to accommodate his health situation," says...
