We as Catholics celebrate the Resurrection. Can’t quite figure out why all these people seem to be so negative about a cricifix. Any clues?

They think that the Passion of Christ is a thing of the past. They don't get the concept that with God, there is no past, present, future. I'll leave it to somebody else to expand.

But the "Full Gospel" includes the life, death, & resurrection. Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious. Maybe some people cannot handle all that, so they focus on the Resurrection. I wonder if the Ascension and Pentecost are allowed to be included, too. Anyone?

"For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified."

"We preach Christ crucified"
