I see what I usually see in Cathokic artwork. A big Mary and little Jesus. Perfectly illustrates the elevation of Mary in catholicism.

Yep, always showing Jesus as a subordinate baby to Mary, or leaving Him hanging on the cross.

It is their Mary and their Jesus. They can do what they want. Tomorrow is Holy in the Roman Catholic church- a commemoration of their Jesus being circumcised (8 days from their December 25)
It doubles as a ‘holiday’ in the secular world, not by accident.

They are well within their rights to do as they please.
The world follows a calendar named after a Pope for goodness sake..
They get to call the shots.

Thankfully, Scripture and Creation tells us december 25 is a lie, so January 1st is a lie and not Holy, except to Rome and the world

But that doesn’t just mess up Rome. But it explains a lot..

Mary was Jesus' mother....many mothers are larger than their babies....Catholicism is pointing out that she was His mother and that is her role in the church.

Yes. Everyone knows that Jewish women in the first century always gave birth to 175-lb. babies.
