Honestly, I don’t understand why anyone would be offended by this. It’s representing Jesus being crucified on an instrument of torture. That is accurate, isn’t it?

Are you not seeing the implication of the combination of the two images? What more clearly speaks to "liberation theology" than a such a perversion of the cross?

That is not what this is about.

A Communist dictator puts Jesus on a hammer and sickle, the symbol of Communism, to relate one of two messages:

1.The hammer and sickle has overpowered Jesus.

2.Jesus approves of the hammer and sickle and died for it.

The messenger here is as important as the message.

Morales was wearing a shirt with Che Guevara on it during the meeting with the Pope.

Honoring Jesus and His sacrifice was not the point of this gift.
