Although the Greek Orthodox Church has been at odds with Roman Catholicism for 1,000 years, the judicial threat to Christian symbols has acted as a unifying force.

OMG, Kolo..........do something!! Quick!!

The Greek Orthodox Church is getting involved in politics!!!

And worse.........they're making nice to the Catholics!

A simple way around this, just rename the man on the cross SPARTACUS! Of course you will really know who it represents.:-D

Albrech Durer did a woodcut of “The Young Christ”. It was actually a self potrait of Durer so if anyone hollers just say it it actually Durer.
There are lots of paintings that used real people for models for Christ paintings.

If you have a painting of Christ in a robe by the sea, when someone throws a fit say it is just a portrait of Joe Smith in a robe by the sea. But you really know who it represents.

But then there is this, Christ took on our sins on the Cross, so you might say that the man on the cross actually represents you and me!

Crucifixes don't belong in publicly funded schools if the Church is separate from the state.

Arguing that the crucifix is a 'worthy symbol' is valid but doesn't really explain why it should be displayed in public schools.

Since the topic is religious, the response of any Church official is appropriate, called for and expected, and does not constitute the Church getting involved in politics for the sake of politics.
