The temple was destroyed and the Jєωs were scattered; punishment for deicide.

Today the Church is destroyed and the Catholics are scattered. The time of tribulation is going on, "a time such as never was from the time that nations began even until that time".

The latter punishment seems more severe, hence the corresponding crime too; Great Apostasy in spite of all graces.

Come quickly, Lord Jesus!

This is true except, in the end, the Jєωs die uglier. They have the deepest recesses of hell reserved for themselves because, despite being chosen by God, they rejected His Son and murdered Him.

I don't know why he left out the scene of the Temple guards et al immediately being cast frozen and held to the ground just before they took the Lord into custody. That was a magnificent show of power and, of course, a miracle.

The Bible says they were knocked to the ground which shows the justice of God using physical defense and signaling to His captors the Divinity of Christ so they might convert. It terms of the physical defense being employed, God, also, allowed Peter to cut off the ear of one of Christ's captors before He commanded Peter to stop and, subsequently, healed his ear. The message here was not only to show that Christ is the true Messiah and His mercy to His captor by healing him, but also that physical self-defense is justified. This is consistent with Our Lord commanding His disciples to arm themselves with a sword and the early Hebrews to arm themselves in the Old Testament. Christ only commanded Peter to stop because the Passion and, ultimately, the Divine Sacrifice had to continue and be consummate.

Our Lord would not have been capable of falling as depicted, imo. She would not lose Her composure; He would not lose His balance in any situation other than the one on the Via Crucis.

That's a very solid point. Our Lord with His perfection and without Original Sin, would have had perfect control over His Body and perfect mental attention (so that He could not fall from inattentiveness either) ... as depicted in that scene. Yes, falling beneath the weight of the Cross was simply due to His Body being unable to physically bear the burden ... and was not due to clumsiness.

Perhaps such a fall would be preordained by God as a trial for Our Lady?

If the Christ Child encountered no difficulties (I realize no one has said that, but if He was incapable of even tripping, it certainly raises the question) what exactly did the Blessed Mother *do* to raise Him? Is she as the perfect Mother purely theoretical? Because it is sounding an awful lot like she never had to comfort Him, never had to assist Him, never had to do any of the things that constitute actually being a good mother.
