Readers may not have had an opportunity to read the lengthy SPCS media release "Response To Chief Censor Bill Hastings Attack On "The Passion" Re-Rating" released Today, 7th April. Here is a summary:
Violence in films that promote Christianity = Good Violence
Violence in all other films = Bad Violence
Sex = Bad
Good Violence should be shown to
everyone, including children.
Bad Violence should not be shown to anybody, including grown-ups.
Sex is disgusting.
We hope this is helpful.
