Blasphemy USA? Jesus Depicted As Low-Life Lout!
I have often discussed ‘blasphemy’ and decried those who demand ‘blasphemers’ be slain.
.
.
If God is indeed Almighty, so I have argued, then He can inflict suitable punishment on those who affront Him.
.

Most of my discussions have focused on various Islamist extremists….
Rizieq the Fanatic, cuffed – FPI ‘grand imam,’ Habib Rizieq, who condemned Jakarta’s then-Governor Ahok for unacceptably quoting some Koranic verse –.
- “We encourage the government to process the death penalty for Ahok as soon as possible,” said Rizieq.

- ……….
…like Rizieq The Fanatic.
But today, I have to wonder what decent Catholics in the United States must be thinking…
ooooooo
oooooooooo

…about the grotesque display at the Catholic University of America (CUA) where a print has been put up for all to see at its law school’s ‘Mary Mirror of Justice Chapel.’
Catholic university shows off Jesus looking like George Floyd
..
…Floyd faced charges for aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon…he had entered an apartment by impersonating a water department worker and barging in with five other men, then held a pistol to a woman’s stomach and searched for items to steal.

.…
Yes, the ultimate put-down, likening Christ to a low-life criminal.
Details?
The painting, ‘Mama’ by iconographer Kelly Latimore, evokes the Christian imagery of Pieta, showing the Virgin Mary mourning with the dead body of Jesus in her arms

…
Latimore’s version depicts the two as black people, and Jesus has the features of Floyd‘
.
You can read about what various outraged, decent Catholics told The Daily Signal, and note how ‘most of them asked to remain anonymous out of fear of reprisal…‘
—-
So, whereas in times past, blasphemers in the Western world had good reason to live in fear..
..
..
…nowadays, in the USA at least, believers who object to blasphemy are the ones who fear to speak up!

Good, Ross.
I’m not Catholic but as a law-abiding American, I think that picture is incredibly upsetting.
