Saint Charles Borromeo Catholic church and school in OKC has this painting of Jesus.
Considering the recent (last 100 years) revelations about Catholic priests molesting young boys, this painting made me wonder if it was done so that pedophile priests could say something like "It's ok Billy, see?" "It's just like Jesus, you do love Jesus don't you?"

ReplyDeleteThe continuing waves of accumulating scandal shaking the ramparts of the roman catholic church will look a mere trifle compared to the perfect storm that is shortly coming. For these growing, worldwide sexual scandals, exposing the endemic institutional corruption of this tradition, while betraying thousands of children and the faithful, only reflect a far greater betrayal and crime against humanity itself and is setting the stage for the 'churches' worst nightmare: the questioning of it's very origins! And that has already started on the web. But not by any atheist ravings. We may very well come to remember the church as two thousands years of accumulated hubris and theological self deception, retailing a counterfeit copy of revealed truth.
