This link is a great one to read - a Review of the Passion, Titled "Passionate About
the Passion",
written by Deacon Keith A. Fournier.

I went to see the film (at a pre-showing with my church) and was truly touched by it.
It is horrible, but, Christ was treated horribly. Two thoughts to share: All during
the movie, the scripture verse that kept running through my mind was "By His stripes
we are healed"......and as I watched the scourging, I understood so much better. The
other thought was that no human could have survived long enough to make it to the
cross...but Christ was not wholly human, he was/is also wholly God, and had the inner
strength and love to make it all the way. He willingly gave up his life for us!

Just read this article, I think it will shed a lot of light on our questions....
