During an address in church, Canberra and Goulburn Diocese Archbishop Christopher Prowse described the removal of the crosses as the actions of a “totalitarian” authority.

“The very first thing a totalitarian government does, when it seizes Christian assets, the very first thing they all do … they take down the crucifix,” he said.

“When the religious cage is shaken by a wolf, when the cross … is taken down, we realise how important our religion is, when it’s under attack.

“And right now today, over at the public hospital — today is Sunday, of all days they picked is the Christian gathering-time — they’re taking the very big blue cross from outside the public hospital down today.

“There was a collective wrenching going on, but there was a sense of hope because they realised you can take down our physical crucifixes but you’ll never take away the cross, Jesus’s cross, inside my heart.”

So why did this public hospital have a cross on the front anyway?

It was formerly Catholic and is now government tun.

But it seems the Catholic clergy want their trademarks to remain stuck all over it.

Obviously it was a private hostible. Calvary. The cross is still on the sign on the right.

Sounds like he was pickled out of his little mind.

Jesus died for our sins.. and now we wear his brutal murder symbol as a sign of our devotion to him… it makes sense..

O..

K…

hey, to remember the person we worship and worship the person we want to remember, let’s eat his body, drink his blood and wear his brutal murder around our necks… then when anything bad happens we’ll just recant on our deathbed and I’ll save you a spot in heaven.

think they’ll fall for it?

The real reason they took down the blue cross is that they didn’t want people in extremis, looking for ED, thinking they had pulled into a vet hospital.

You know the joke about the kid who was sent to the Catholic school?

This kid was consistently failing at maths, but it seemed to stem from a lack of motivation in the boy.

His parents heard that a local Catholic school had a great ‘remedial’ maths course, so they and the boy went the school to discuss it.

Ended up with the boy enrolled in the Catholic school.

And, right from the first days, his maths improved. Marks continued to go up in a steady climb. He applied himself assiduously to maths homework.

Eventually, his parents asked him why he himself thought his performance in maths had improved.

“It was that first visit to the school”, he said. ‘We walked into the hall, and there was that big statue of a bloke nailed to a plus sign. I realised that, when it comes to maths, these people mean business!”

I was at a Christian sermon in a church when the minister said something I already knew. That the cross was an instrument of torture. I hadn’t heard it in a sermon before. He likened it to turning up at a new church who worshipped the electric chair. And followed through with how it would feel to attend such a church.

Jesus had a Me complex
