Is It Just Me?

I guess tradition was just too much for us in this year of the cooties:

Too simple, too boring, too…white. The Post-Catholic Vatican desired something a bit more postmodern. So progressive revisionist scholars chose to place this year’s nativity scene on Planet Zog rather than in Bethlehem.

I understand that two years ago the Vatican nativity scene was a sand sculpture, made entirely of 720 tons of the stuff.

"It's an ephemeral art in the sense that it is not intended to last forever."

That’s quite a statement given we’re talking about the central thesis of Christianity but at least it depicted the traditional scene of Jesus’ birth.

And while last year’s nativity scene was a return to traditional,

that apparently didn’t fly well with the Post-Catholic Vatican Globalists as this year they outdid themselves with this postmodern, inclusionary depiction of the birth of Christ.

Speaking at the event, Cardinal Giuseppe Bertello, the president of the Governorate of the Vatican City State, said the creche is an artistic interpretation of “how the Gospel can love all cultures and professions.”

The original creche was presented in Rome, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and is made of 54 large statues, including a Jewish Rabbi, an astronaut and an executioner to represent the death penalty. Gone are the traditional starlit backdrops and grassy terrains in favor of a more modern look with only a neon light framing the scene. – Religion News

I guess the Vatican thought 2020 would be a good year to introduce a bit of whimsy, inclusionism and globalism to the annual Nativity scene. And speaking of globalism, I see too that the Vatican has entered into a “global alliance” with Rothschild, Rockefeller and Ford Foundation, Mastercard, BoA, Merck and others through the new “Council for Inclusive Capitalism” to create a “more inclusive, sustainable and trusted economic system.”

I say, that sounds very much like Black Liberation Theology - or is it just me?
