Democrat Kerry Urges Caution on 'Passion'
Thu Feb 26, 3:54 PM ET
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Front-runner John Kerry (news - web sites) arrived in Los Angeles on Thursday ready to debate his rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination but unsure about the city's latest controversial production, "The Passion of the Christ."
"I don't know," he said when asked if he would see the Mel Gibson (news) film about the last days of Jesus' life and its particularly harrowing focus on his crucifixion.
Kerry, a Catholic, said he was worried about the movie's potential anti-Semitism. Some critics have complained that Gibson portrays Jews as responsible for Jesus' death.
"I am concerned," he told reporters. "I don't know if it's there or not but there's a lot of it around now. I think we have to be careful."
