• When a Catholic-friendly director makes a movie about the violent, gory death of Jesus, largely based on material not found in the Gospels, the Church says it's a religious masterpiece that everyone should see.

• When a popular director and star make a thriller movie based on an international best-selling novel about material not found in the Gospels - a movie that the filmmakers, the stars, and the book's author all stress is fiction - then they all must be denounced, the movie and book debunked, and if the Church had its way, both would be banned outright.

So, non-canonical material about Jesus getting the crap beat out of him while sinister extraworldly forces (not mentioned in the Bible) watch is good, but non-canonical material implying that Jesus actually was fully human and might have married or had Teh Sex is bad.

Just checking.
