• www.thepassionofthechrist.com - The official movie site.

• www.seethepassion.com - A site set up by Women Influencing the Nation (organized by Madeira resident Jennifer Giroux) to encourage people to patronize the movie. Contains a petition urging theaters to show the film, and an appeal for donations to fund radio ads.

• www.melj.net - An evangelical Christian Web site containing a letter urging Gibson to add a statement of historical context to the film to repudiate anti-Semitic interpretations.

• www.passion-movie.com - A fan site with information available in 18 languages.

• www.passionmaterials.com - A promotional site offering posters, post cards and similar items for the cost of shipping.

• www.ajc.org - Official site of the American Jewish Committee includes statements explaining concerns about the film, and an interfaith resource guide to issues raised by the movie.

• www.usccb.org - Official site of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, with their announcement of the Feb. 23 release of The Bible, the Jews and the Death of Jesus: A Collection of Catholic Documents, reiterating the church's condemnation of anti-Semitism.
