' The Passion of The Christ,' is going to ruin the rest of his acting career. He may be known as a nice guy on movie sets, but his reputation as something of a religious bigot is growing.

has said he relied on three sources: the New Testament and two nuns. One of the nuns, Mary of

Agreda, a 17th century Spanish aristocrat, wrote of the Jews involved in Christ's death:

"Although they did not die [they] were chastised with intense pains These disorders consequently

upon shedding the blood of Christ descended to their posterity and even to this day continue to
