Those who rejected Jesus were the established spirtual leaders in Israel. Politically they said, We have no king but Caesar. Jesus was seen as both a spiritual and political usurper by those in spiritual and political power. Sound like a revolutionary? Does to me.
The fact the He was the rightful king and the One who wasspiritually orthodox makes it none the less a revolution.

You have a modern view of revolutionaries. But both the English and American whigs were reluctant to assume the title, regarding the Stuarts and George III as the subverters of the Constitution and ursurpers. Liberation, not revolution.

We sang "A Might Fortress" at church this Sunday in honor of the Reformation. Do Catholics have to forgo that awesome hymn?
Keep up the good fight.
