#1 Care for more...

Not really. While I am all for political dissent if it is well reasoned this just smacks of some one who confuses artistic freedom with the requirements of the commision Just my $.02

#2 St. Paul's on the Green church in Norwalk, Connecticut, which describes itself as an "Anglo-Catholic" church

Sounds like yet another rootless cafeteria church.

#3 FInal comment at the blog is good -

I can only imagine a conversation among a family of parrisioners in the year 2046, "Mommy, why is Jesus dressed the like the guys who pick up garbage along side the highway?" "Well Jimmy, way back when I was a little girl, President Bush..."

Another thing I wish I didn't have to explain to my son. Thanks alot.

Some people have no tast or common sense.

#5 If religious people want to practice their faith thats great. When that faith starts trying to rewrite history and even it's foundation, thats another story. The "Passion" is well covered in the gospels. I can assure you that the war in Iraq and the war on terror is far from the practices of the Sanhedrin or the Roman Empire as one can get. The people responsible for this are typical tools who use "religiosity" as a cover for their TRANZI proclivities. Seriously you just crucified Christ on your own Golgotha.

Way to go asshats you are prime examples of why I have totally given up on all religion.

#6 Sounds like yet another rootless cafeteria church.

Actually, the Anglo-Catholics are the traditionalists who dislike the changes in the Episcopal church over the last 20 or so years. I cannot imagine that most members would be happy about this ...

However, I was at a wedding in May and a 75 yr old family friend who is quite traditional about her liturgy frothed at the mouth about Bushitler, Rumsfeld etc. So maybe some were.

#7 SPoD,

Don't give up on Christianity just because of a few morons in the church. Get up from lying down and try again!!

Hey, I was raised Catholic. Any church younger than 1,000 years is an upstart in my eyes.

#9 Anglo-Catholic?

No such animal. Being Catholic is liek being pregnant - either you are or you are not. There is no half way.

This is just another case of the Anglican rite loonies trying to cloak themsleves with (Roman) Catholic symbolism while leaving the Catechism of the Catholic church behind.

These are far beyond even the Cafeteria Catholics.

My disgust for them cannot be adequately voiced in words.

#10 While Pilate is clothed in a traditional Middle Eastern robe, Jesus is depicted in an orange prisoner jumpsuit standing between two soldiers in fatigues,

Heck. I get a whole different interpretation. Pilate sentenced him to death, and the lefty moonbat crowds are calling for his crucifiction, but the American soldiers are standing "beside him".

It's ok to give up on "churchs" SPOD - but don't give up on truth and wisdom.
