re: #149 Stanley Sea

My Catholic (not practicing) friend when taking her young son and others to one of the missions in CA. He said very loudly, “MOM! who is that guy all stabbed up on that cross??”

My friend’s little girl is, for some reason, afraid of crucifixes. (No vampire jokes please.) They’re pagan, so it’s not a huge problem normally, but a while ago she had to go into the hospital for some minor surgery, and it was a Catholic hospital.

Her grandmother tried to remind her that that ‘the man on the sticks’ is the Earth Mother’s son, but it didn’t help much. The people at the hospital were very kind, and when asked, took down the crucifix in her room.
