Actually,
I think there are some proper Biblical attitudes and foci in at least some of the 12 Stations of The Cross.
IIRC, I walked those stations in Jerusalem, myself.
The White Hanky spoof is merely a take off on the idea to highlight what I perceive to be outrageous hypocrisies of many . . . things . . . and many persons . . . in the Vatican system.
I have fond memories of doing it with my mother holding her hand as a child going to each step. She always would have great reverence for the whole passion of Christ. What it meant in history. It would be so spiritual. We couldn't talk between 1200 and 300 pm on good friday every year. It left a great total awe of our savior on me. When I saw the Passion film I couldn't go thru it after the whipping I left the theatre. Just to think what our Lord did for us. Tears in my eyes. What a wonderful Savior beyond human words to describe.
My mother passed in 1999. She would of got a kick out of your metaphors. She would write all the time about her life and life in general on writing tablets. She admired clever writing. She told me what I would do in the future. She was Charismatic. A good decent christian. Amen!
