Why I Can't Boycott Mel Gibson

Our sister blog, Her.meneutics, explores how 'divine beauty' in art overcomes fallen celebs

"The issue is, what do our opinions of him and those like him — and our decisions of whether to support or shun them — say about our beliefs about humanity? If it were the case that The Passion were a praiseworthy film, and that Gibson were a racist, violent man, need acknowledging the one fact entail denial of the other? It shouldn't."
