What kind of person find that sexually provocative? Zuckerbook must be run by pervs.
Well, in Portugal it is traditional to have a man defecating behind the stable. Its sort of a cultural/Catholic/Latino thing. Im not offended. Ive been collecting nativity scenes for many years.
Ok, let's see now. Perhaps Bergoglio, Coccopalmerio, and definitely, Bergoglio's house mother, Msg Ricca.
It’s disgusting and it’s definitely not Catholic.
Final approval for the homoerotic design was given by high vaticornhole officials.
In case you missed the purpose, it represents the 7 Works of Mercy. Clothing the naked, burying the dead, visiting the imprisoned, feeding the hungry, giving water to the thirsty, sheltering the homeless, and caring for the sick.
I didn’t miss anything.
It’s a huge distraction to the actual nativity scene.
My eye was drawn to the hung-over guy in the front. I’m guessing that is Joseph after an all-night binge after realizing his wife just had the son of God.
Not a misdirection at all. A reminder of why Christ was born. Some people don’t want to be reminded.
Well using a porn star model for the clothing the naked is an epic fail. Because using a well fed, well muscled man fully capable of working for food and clothing is stupid.
1 Cor 13
[3] And if I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, and if I should deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
That naked guy is mighty buff. The artist put him on a parallel plane to the newborn Christ.
Why do you suppose that might be?
Keep in mind that we’ve all seen the Pieta, which shows a partially clothed Christ lying in his mother’s arms.
The naked guy in the nativity scene gives off a totally different vibe—more like the sculptures we see from a Ancient Rome.
Evil by any other name is evil just the same.
At best, this is a tacky, distracting, inaccurate exhibit which buries the Holy Family and humble shepherds amidst a crowd of unrecognized faces. At worst, it is a homosexual blasphemy.
Are you serious? What about Good Friday?
Bergoglio has been using every religious feast day he can to politicize his false "mercy" gig,
The 7 Corporal Works of Mercy should not be mixed in with the Nativity. They are distractions. Bizarre and inappropriate.
> In case you missed the purpose
The assumed purpose. You deny your own humanity, flesh and sin if you don’t understand the point being made by those critical of this display.
There can be another purpose in the hearts of powerful and corrupt men.
And we see it.
You sound like a complete hypocrite.
