This is your first mistake

and its meek-and-mild founder whose humiliation

You portray the Son of God as some sort of girly/man...Look at all the pictures you guys have of Jesus...Jesus far more resembles Boy George or Michael Jackson than Hulk Hogan...

But women are attracted to that...I'd say men don't want anything to do with a sissyfied man, whether he's God or a priest/pastor...

Jesus was a man's man...Not afraid to take on a group of people physically, not very mild and meek in his speech; no blonde haired, blue eyed effemite Son for God...

I guess you would have the Church use these images instead?







No thanks!

We'll stick with this one, thank you very much:

The passage YOU quote is part of the image of Christ as PAGANS would have viewed it, not as the Catholic Church portrays it.

Generally and nonspecifically speaking, folks who hate the Catholic Church will never miss an opportunity to pull a few words out of context, contort it beyond what was meant by the writer, and use it as a rhetorical cudgel to bash the Church founded by Christ.
