ResumoOne is Raymond Arroyo, of the Wall Street Journal (and, although not Mentioned by Fredriksen, also of the Eternal Word Television Network-EWTN-a Conservative Catholic Cable Television Network), and Christopher Noxon, of the New York Times Sunday Magazine. Arroyo's Favorable View of the Film and of Gibson's Personal Commitment in Risking a Huge Financial Loss to Produce it is Contrasted with Noxon's Situating the Film and Gibson's Catholic Practice within the Spectrum of an Anti-modernist Movement Known as 'traditionalism' (p. Xii). Fredriksen Traces Three predictable Features of the Film, Arising from its Historical and Cultural Origins: innate Anti-judaism, obvious Roman Catholicism, and lurid Violence (p. Xiii).
