A screening of Mel Gibson's controversial film "The Passion of Christ" for three highly influential Vatican congregations resulted in a strong endorsement of the film from an American official of one of the three congregations. However, the endorsement prompted calls from the Anti-Defamation League for Gibson to make screenings available to those concerned about the film's purported anti-Semitic content. According to the Zenit international news service, which tracks Vatican news and communications, "The Passion" was screened for members of the Vatican Secretariat of State, the Pontifical Council for Social Communications and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith this past weekend. The report did not specify who from the congregations was present for the screening but did say that those present expressed "unanimous appreciation and approval" of the film. (Peter Kiefer)
