[null and void]

Any painting of Christ and His Holy family as black is blasphemous and racist.

Even in a Church in the Congo?

Let's just agree to disagree on that one.

Or we could agree with what RedMonqey pointed out:

Biblicaly speaking, there is/was no painting of Jesus because... it would be a graven image according to the Ten Commandments, and assert that ANY image of Jesus is sacrilegious...

Sorry...but your attempt to rewrite historic reality is unacceptable.

Jesus Christ was born in the ME - NOT the Congo. His skin, like others in the area, was of olive complexion...and definitely NOT BLACK!

Your false allegation that Jesus of Nazareth was black is typical of the leftwing racists & communists attempting to destroy history and reality.

Shame on you!!!
