Default Christ on the Cross - Time for a Rebranding?

Could maybe Catholics consider just using an image of a cross sans a violently beaten man nailed to it in their propaganda? It's a horribly appalling image.

I had to pick up my daughter's seven-year-old friend from Catholic school the other day, and when my daughter and I walked into the school the first thing we saw was JC nailed to a cross. My girl found it shocking, which got me thinking how ridiculous the image is to continue using. It's cheap shock advertising for the cause.

Anyway, if you're Catholic and agree with me, maybe propose it to your congregation. Might be time for a logo update.

You do know that the persecution, suffering and execution and ressurection of Christ is the biggest part of that religion right?

None of my friends and I were shocked or scared or turned into serial killers by the crucifix

I like how you slid the whole propaganda in there.

Since your not catholic, why not just ignore it and move on instead of sniping it.

Ridiculous post.

This thread made me laugh because at my Catholic college, I walked past a giant Christ on the wall every day. Granted, He wasn't on a cross, but...

He's no longer on the wall there, at least not at my last visit. Here's a picture I took of an old yearbook:

They should hire a Japanese company to come up with an ultra cute Jesus character that would appeal to all the little kids, like Hello Kitty or Mashimaro. That'd be pretty sweet. Think of all the merchandising opportunities!

LOL, you walked into a Catholic school and weren't expecting to see a jesus cross? Maybe your 7 year old should be a little more worried about her parents complete lack of common sense.
