Christ?

Do Catholics ever talk about Jesus? It’s always Mary, James, Peter, Paul, Pope this and that and Saints in the thousands... Jesus seems to be barely part of their religion.

How many Catholic Churches are named for Jesus instead of Saint Something?

If they took any mention of Jesus out of their religion, removed His name from their service and conversation, it's hardly be noticed.

Yeah, they do mention Him when they brag on participating in His being killed continually in heaven which they say their mass is all about.

Jesus' death on the cross was a brutal slaughter, and yet they rave on about the beauty of Catholicism which centers in their *sacrifice of the mass*. They've even made it neat and tidy and bloodless.

Yeah, my sin is what put Jesus on the cross, not an altar, but it's nothing to glorify.

I'd be pretty hesitant myself to glorify Jesus' death and be so excited about participating in it.

I posted this on another thread in error. But, here it is again! It is equally at home on either thread!
