THE vulgarisation of fashion crucifixes has been vigorously condemned by the Vatican. They say the mania for this vulgar adornment is incomprehensible, and that it is unchristian when there is so much hunger and poverty in the world.
Does the Vatican not realise that these people do not care for anyone but themselves?
Possibly they can explain why the invasion of Christianity's most sacred site by Muslim gunmen did not elicit a single word of condemnation. I would have thought that the Church of the Nativity was a more important subject than a few rich and famous extrovert mediocraties flaunting their wealth in this vulgar way.
Why has the Vatican and all other sections of the Christian faith not screamed with outrage at this blatant act of desecration?
That act will for ever be seen as Christianity's greatest stigma, compounded by there being no world-wide protest for a most disgusting insult to the Christian faith. Or could I have my priorities mixed up?
