Secular press calls the Holy Father the biggest homophobe on the planet…

And yet uber-Catholics post photos like this inviting irreverent and sophomoric comments and captions.  How very, very sad.  Sad, sad, sad - to see unemployed people wasting their vocation and academic achievements on such nonsensical theatrics.

Frequent commenter Jeron, sent me this photo with these comments:

Situation:  Unpopular Republican needs to bolster his favor w/the public.  
The cure:  A WHITE WEDDING!  - Jeron

This is an example of the so-called New Age crucifix that was reported on Spirit Daily, which I commented on in my previous post.  Quick! Emily Rose!  Call the exorcist! 

The crucifix, obviously an older style, as it appears here could be of French design, maybe even bastardized Celtic, or simply Italian Renaissance decorations - whatever its origins, it is NOT New Age.  The standard behind the corpus, with the snake, clearly symbolizes the pole Moses erected in the desert, mounting a bronze serpent atop - as God commanded, which prefigured the crucifixion of Christ on the cross.  Read your Bibles! (Numbers 21: 4-9 and John 3:14) 

To use St. Teresa’s words, “I don’t understand these fears, ‘The devil!  The devil!’, when we can say, ‘God!  God!’, and make the devil tremble.” - Life, Ch 25,22.
