Hollywood actor Jim Caviezel slammed the “Christian bigotry” he said is happening around the world, saying the promotion of Pride Month coming from places like the White House is “absolutely appalling.”

During the 54-year-old’s appearance on the Christian podcast “Prophets and Patriots” on Tuesday, he discussed how his new movie, “Sound of Freedom,” is a “rejection of what they are doing to our Christian culture right now.”

“Christian bigotry is the most accepted form of bigotry, right now, in the world,” Caviezel told the host. “And they are okay with that. Well, not anymore. That’s done.”

The “Passion of the Christ” star also talked about Pride Month, calling out Disney and President Joe Biden for promoting Pride rainbows, Fox News noted.

“You want to put a rainbow flag on Mickey Mouse? That’s fine. I never asked them to put a Star of David, or a Crucifix, or a cross on Mickey’s ears,” Caviezel said. “Why are you doing that? Why are you putting the rainbow flag above the President of the United States? Above the United States flag? Absolutely appalling.”

The “Person of Interest” star also slammed a move by the Los Angeles Dodgers honoring the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, an LGBT nonprofit that critics say mocks the Catholic faith. The satirical group describes itself as “a leading-edge Order of queer and trans nuns.”

“The big thing right now, the LGBTQ, all of that, when you are talking about grooming our children and the T part, is connected to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, what monastery did you go to? Are you really nuns? Where are the reporters asking these people these questions?” Caviezel said.

“You just used a Crucifix as a strip pole of Jesus. That’s so blasphemous,” he added. “Would you do that with a Jewish Rabbi coming down a Menorah?”

In “Sound of Freedom,” Caviezel portrays Tim Ballard in the true story of a federal agent who quits his job and embarks on a dangerous mission to rescue a young girl from sex slavery in South America. It was produced by Angel Studios, the company responsible for the popular faith-based television series “The Chosen.”

The film will hit theaters on July 4, 2023.
