VIDEO: Tyler Perry on How The Passion Combats the Stigma of Christianity
Perry says The Passion has love for everyone
Christianity doesn't have a reputation for being the most inclusive religion, but Tyler Perry's latest project, The Passion, is all about showing a different side of Christianity.
"Part of the reason that Christians are persecuted for having faith is because of Christians, and some of the things that we've said and some of the things we've done," says Perry, who produces and narrates the live Fox musical about the last days of Christ (Jencarlos Canela).
"And that's what I love about The Passion. It's so inclusive of everyone," he continues. "It's so about love for everyone. And I think that message never goes out of style, no matter how many people want to dumb it down or dull it down or make it nonexistent."
See what else Perry has to say in the video above.
The Passion airs Sunday, March 20 at 8/7c on Fox.
