Vatican Christmas Display to be ‘A Sign of Hope’ Amid Pandemic

Pope Francis last year wrote a letter about the meaning and importance of nativity scenes, calling for this “wonderful sign” to be more widely displayed in family homes and public places throughout the world.

VATICAN CITY — The Vatican announced the details of the 2020 edition of the annual Christmas display in St. Peter’s Square, intended to be a sign of hope and faith in the midst of the coronavirus outbreak.

“This year, even more than usual, the setting up of the traditional space dedicated to Christmas in St. Peter’s Square aims to be a sign of hope and faith for the whole world,” said a press release from the Vatican City Governorate.

The Christmas display “wants to express the certainty that Jesus comes among his people to save and console them,” it said, “an important message in this difficult time due to the COVID-19 health emergency.”

The display will consist of a simple pedestal, holding a copy of “Das Kapital”.

It’s hideous. It was done in the 60s and 70s, and the figures are monumental (larger than life) size. It’s anti-human and anti-divine. It’s a slap in the face to believing Christians.

But Bergoglio hates the Incarnation, so it’s not surprising. I think he’s jealous, because, remember, the Church is really all about Bergoglio.

It’s ugly. Reminds me of Playskool figures.

The only sign of hope I am looking for from the Vaticn is the announcement that Bergoglio no longer infests the place.
