The Pieta originally referred to the marble sculpture of Jesus and Mary at Golgotha representing the "Sixth Sorrow" of Our Holy Mother by Michelangelo. The use of the word "Pieta" has been expanded to refer other artwork which depicts Our Sorrowful Mother holding her dead Son in her arms.
Please refrain from trying to make politics out of Our Lady's sorrow.

life can imitate art as much as art imitates life

You equate a comparison of a "pieta" with a father grieving over his dead daughter, a result of Israel's religion-based genocide of "goyim" (Christian and Muslim alike), with "politics"? Could it be because it was Trump $$ that facilitated the death of that father's daughter? I'm not buying this false piety

Pieta is an Italian word that means pity or compassion . Although it is the name of Michaelangelo’s sculpture , it is also a word that stands on its own .
I’m sorry that you think a father holding his dead child is political.
I don’t think the blessed Mother would be offended by using that descriptive word for that man’s sorrow . She knows his pain more than even he does. I feel it’s perfectly appropriate

To an English speaking Catholic, Pieta means Our Blessed Mother holding the body of her Son who has died...her sixth sorrow.
To post that picture under the heading Pieta is insulting and disrespectful to Our Lady, especially at this beginning of Holy Week and upsetting to Catholics.
It appears as if you are comparing that man's sorrow at the loss of his mortal child with Our Blessed Mother's loss of her Divine Son, who is our God.
I don’t think the blessed Mother would be offended by using that descriptive word for that man’s sorrow . She knows his pain more than even he does. I feel it’s perfectly appropriate
But I'd not be surprised that her Son may be offended at the flippant comparison to His mother's sorrow.

The intention was not to mirror but to make an analogy for Holy week.
In no way was this meant in disrespect or to make an actual comparison or supplant the suffering of the Blessed Mother by the man, just that the relationship of suffering especially in Gaza by the jews, continues during Holy week 2025. Nothing here was flippant -possibly misinterpreted.
Using the word pieta was as a typology, the positioning of the father with the dead child in his arms. I'm still not certain that it was wrong to use the word.
Sorry if I offended anyone, certainly to our Lord and Lady as well.

It is horrible that people are being slaughtered. To watch a father hold his dying daughter is heartbreaking. These soldiers are ruthless cowards.
We should be more outraged by God’s children being slaughtered.
Instead of murdering people, they should be home eating and praying.

The death, dying and suffering of the people of Gaza is horrendous. I think Jesus would weep, like he did over Jerusalem and Lazarus. I pray for peace in the Middle East. :pray:
