The Catholic Church is very famous for making its religion sound cool. Most people just went to Protestant church in boring pressboard white wall Protestant churches which don’t know how to have fun.
why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?
#Also Jesus was a stonemason#The original Greek term is Tekton which is a general builder/handyman#often translated to Carpenter#But there were not very many trees to make wood from in Galilee#so it’s more likely He would have been a stonemason
