  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Modesty forbids showing it on crucifixes, but the reality can deepen our faith.​


You’ve seen crucifixes all your life. Every Sunday, one looks down at you from above the altar. One may be hanging around your neck right now. Usually, the corpus on the cross does not appear brutalized or overly bloody, and the loins are modestly covered. But in a way, modern portrayals of the crucifixion do us a disservice, failing to display the humiliation, degradation, and torture Jesus actually endured for our sins.

Yes, it is highly likely, even unavoidable, that Our Lord was crucified naked.

Jesus Was Crucified Naked

The historical evidence strongly suggests that the shame and humiliation of Jesus' execution were even deeper than what we're accustomed to.

This is an odd post. And for that, I have an odd response.

Adam and Eve were unashamed of being naked before they ate from the tree. Once they did, they felt that shame.

There is not a single experience, pain or feeling that Jesus did not experience in his 30 years on earth.

Did he feel shame in that moment?

We may never know. With everything on his mind at the time, he may not even have cared.

But the point I’m getting at is this: Jesus has felt your pain. He has lived your past. He has been through it all.

I’m not certain what you hoped to receive from this post, but I hope my response is sufficient.

Happy Easter!

Did you actually read it? Seems it went over your head if you did. And by the way, you are in the Catholic forum.

In conclusion, whether we believe that Jesus was covered on the cross or not will have no effect on the power of the cross or our salvation, but understanding the depth of his suffering and the extent of the degradation he endured for our sins is significant. Understanding the historical realities of the Passion only increases our love for Jesus and inspires our profound commitment and devotion to him and his sacrifice.

A Blessed Easter to you.
