California Church Depicts Nativity Scene with Jesus, Mary, Joseph in Separate Cages.
[TheGuardian] Claremont United Methodist church installation shows Jesus, Mary and Joseph as caged immigrant family
If a mod would be so kind as to cross-link to the disgusting Pope comment about Trump being Herod, I would be so obliged. You know, for Methodists they really took this cue from the Pope from the other day. Which begs the question : Are they all the same now ? Incidentally, Trump is often refereed to in fringe churchy circles as a modern day John the Baptist, and it's the Pope who sits in Herod's seat today. Not relevant maybe, just... curious.


A nativity installation depicting Mary, Joseph and Jesus separated in cages has caused a stir in a southern California city, a few hundred kilometers from the US border with Mexico.
This link to a 5 Dec Breitbart appears to be a reference.
The installation shows Joseph and Mary, in separate cages, facing a cradled baby Jesus in a cage, with Joseph’s arms outstretched towards him. It was posted to Facebook by the Rev Karen Ristine of the Claremont United Methodist church, and has been shared more than 20,000 times.

"In a time in our country when refugee families seek asylum at our borders and are unwillingly separated from one another, we consider the most well-known refugee family in the world. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, the Holy Family," Ristine wrote on Facebook. She cited Matthew 25:35, in which Jesus thanks those who fed him when he was a hungry refugee fleeing Bethlehem.
If I remember correctly, nowhere does the good book state that 'I came to you selling drugs, and you readily let me in. Blessed are you...'
"What if this family sought refuge in our country today? Imagine Joseph and Mary separated at the border and Jesus no older than two taken from his mother and placed behind the fences of a Border Patrol detention center as more than 5,500 children have been the past three years," said Ristine in the Facebook post.
Disgusting sons of Belial, mixing their shit with the truth to suit their politics. Read the rest of this unhappy thing at the Guardian.

Can there be an 'Assorted Bastitches' option in the Organization dropdown ? Never mind... just asking.
