  • See here and tell me what you think..? Is it true?:

    (PS. I know it's a Protestant website. Disregard their crap at the bottom about being baptized and saved, not because they're wrong about that, but because they are just as Satanic, if not more, than John Paul could ever be.)

  • It's not the bend of the cross that I find objectionable.  It's the way the corpus is displayed that makes be shutter in disgust.  Even if it is "more realistic", it just looks like it's something dirty, in a pornographic kind of way.  I have seen crucifixes in which the cross-beam is curved but have a corpus whose knees are spread way apart and those did not bother me in the way the "bent crucifix" of John Paul 2 and Benedict 16 does.

    As for being "satanic"...all I can say is that it is a work of art that definitely does NOT raise my heart and mind to God.

    I personally do not think it is more realistic. I believe part of whats so wrong with it is that it took away from Christ's strenth. Made him look weak, when this was not the case.

    Also, I don't believe he was hanging that way. His arms were totally out to either side. His knees were not bent all the way down like that. He had to stand on His Feet to breathe and it was severely painful since the nails in His Feet were impaled in them.

    I've always hated that "crucifix."

    And again, not to belabor the point, but I believe that "crucifix" might have been an invention of the Freemasons. It adds to what you've pointed out about taking away from Christ's strength.

    17. Teach that Jesus was a man who had brothers and sisters and that he hated the powerful. Explain that (He) loved the company of prostitutes and that she knew that to do with churches or ѕуηαgσgυєs. You say that he had, in this blundering, invited to disobey the clergy.  Define Him often a "Grand Master". Discourage the death on (the) cross as a victory, presenting it instead as a failure.
    Matthew 5:37

    But let your speech be yea, yea: no, no: and that which is over and above these, is of evil.

  • It's kind of like the problem with the resurectifix. Protestants didn't like the idea that the Mass is the sacrifice on the cross and didn't like us having a crucifix to look at to remind us of it. Replacing the crucifixes with Christ's Resurection takes our minds off of the Sacrifice of the Mass. These resurectifixes are symbols of Vatican II's "ecuмenism" and should be taken out and replaced with crucifixes.

  • It is evil. The position he is in actually resembles that of satanic crucifixes. And the fact that the cross is bent is quite scary. I'm glad (and rather surprised) Benedict got rid of it.

  • I didn't know His Holiness got rid of it! When was this?

    Didn't His Holiness just bring back the Papal Tiara also?

  • No, that image of him with the Papal tierra is photo-shopped. I haven't seen him with the bent cross the last year or two, instead he carries a gold one with him.

  • If you google the words "bent cross and Benedict XVI" you will see many images of him with this cross, unless they are all photoshopped!

  • That blog was from 2006, he got rid of it just the last year or two. Every time I see him with one now, he has a gold crucifix that isn't bent.

    Do the people who run that site really think Benedict is the antichrist?

  • I don't know what they think, but I know this, Vatican II with all their modernism and novelties sure give Catholics a bad name.  How and why would anyone these days want to be a Catholic if they see the example coming out of VII.  

    No wonder there are so many anti catholic web sites, they are really about anti vatican II but they don't realize it.

  • He changed it in 2008, when he gave up the "bent" crosier for the old ferula. Prior to Pul VI., the Popes did not use crosiers at all in the liturgy but only carried the ferula on special occasions.

    I thought I saw Benedict after 2008 with the old pastoral staff, but I am not sure.

  • I agree, Vatican II makes Catholics look bad. ABC had a special on the other night (whenever ABC has a religious special, know in advance it's going to suck) about apparitions of Mary. I watched it out of curiosity, and it was a disgrace. It was basically all about Madjegourie, not to mention their facts were NOT correct. They said Mary may have had 4 or 5 children and that she died a Jєωιѕн woman. Uh, hello? She converted to Catholicism. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering ABC is run by Freemasons.
