Gibson is not just a pre-Vatican II "Traditional Roman Catholic,"
but rather he is a medieval Catholic. The graphic visuals are
straight out of medieval European art. Little children's faces
metamorphosing into devilish gargoyles and similar grotesqueries
spring straight out of Hieronymus Bosch; Gibson owes more to Dante's
Inferno than he does to mainstream theology. The heavy emphasis on
Jesus' mother is medieval Mariolatry. All that implicit anti-Semitism
has medieval roots.

And of the most of the last few Popes, including the current one.
Recommended reading: Constantine's Sword by Jame Carroll, an account of how
the cross became the symbol for Christ and its impact on the treatment of
Jews and much of Western history.
I'll likely not see the flick. or ABC's Judas either.
Thanks.
