It's not what you celebrate but what you believe. HE IS RISEN and the CC still has Jesus on the cross. IT IS FINISHED and Teachings of purgatory because one still has a sin debt, works needed for salvation - ALL are in opposition of what JESUS did at the Cross.

I understand you disagree with traditional interpretations of James 2:14 (faith-works) and 1 Corinthians 3:15 (purgatory). However, I want understand your hang-up with just the crucifix before moving on to these related issues.

Why does the universal 2000-year custom of depicting Jesus on the cross lead you to believe that historical Christians reject the Resurrection and the full, completed Redemption? Do you think the crucifix is an attempt to freeze Jesus at that moment in time--to blot out what happen afterward?

What do you think??? What does the physical evidence point to???

Many non Catholic churches sport a Cross...An empty Cross...

We know where Jesus is...And he is not continually being crucified...

He is not here...He is risen...
