Ugly ... perhaps; scary ... absolutely not! Humbling would be a more apt description. It was our sins He bore

Indeed,Dear Sister!

I wonder if these same people who complain it scares the children allow them to watch holywood movies with all the blood in gore?

Archbishop Fulton Sheen once said... "the essence of the demonic is the wanting to escape the cross and Crucifixion of Our Blessed Lord"

One of the most humbling statues of Christ is in the center of Church at Auriesville Shrine of Martyrs .

I know you have been there and seen it as well.

Excellent point!! And what about those video games? Thanks for the post. What they truly fear is Christ on the Cross because that reminds them of their sins.
