But they became refugees and immigrants: they were forced into exile in Egypt.

But He said this as an adult:

Matthew 8:20 Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."

True enough, Mrs Don-o. As an adult he certainly did choose the life of an itinerant preacher. But I suspect he would have been welcome to live with his Mum anytime he wanted.

Heck, even the U.S. Census keeps the story straight! Didn’t the priest include these census handouts in the church bulletin? /extreme sarcasm, due to govt abuse of a religious narrative.

You're surely right about that. And yet we know He personally identified with those who lacked food and shelter --- and thought it was so important for his followers to "get" that that he repeated it in detail four times in Matthew 25:31-46.

Paradoxical, isn't it?

And fascinating. Hadn’t thought about it that way before. Thanks!
