The Jesus Doll is Blasphemous.

I would find it offensive the same as I would a "toy bible" or a "toy rosary" or a "toy baptismal fount"

Not appropriate. I sure wouldn't allow my children to have one.

How about a doll of the Pope?

Or this one?

How about this one?

Kinda fond of this one myself

One for the kiddies!

I wouldn't give my kid a Pope doll either.

This inclination to make a doll out of anybody and everybody is frankly creepy and more an adult collector thing then something for kids.

The Pope isn't God.

He may be the Vicar of Christ and I love him very much, but a doll of a person is just doll.

A doll of Christ diminishes the Cross.

I've got the one of John Paul II, he stands in a place of honor on my mantel and NO ONE is allowed to touch him but me! He stands by photos of my family and my porcelain unicorn. I'm looking for a pelican, the symbol of martyrdom, to go with him.

I gotta get me one o' them Pope Bobble-heads ... Take him on a trip to Europe. All kinds of fascinating places ... Canterbury Cathedral, Wittenberg, Geneva, Byzant Constan Istanbul ...
