In their effort to “exert total control” over religion and to “sinicise” Catholic and Protestant Christianity, the authorities have “ordered the removal of crosses from churches [and] replaced images of Jesus Christ or the Virgin Mary with pictures of President Xi Jinping,” the report said.
The report concluded that “every facet of religious life for Buddhists, Catholics and Protestant Christians, Muslims, and Taoists” was facing pressure to incorporate CCP ideology, and religious elements considered contradictory to the state’s political agenda were being eradicated.
Isn’t Jesus like the President of the Universe? I’m almost convinced that JTown outranks him.
HEs before Xis and all that
Sure, and the Holy Spirit is the universal Secretary of Defense, but they’re both also the President.
I’m pretty sure Jesus was opposed to the idea of nations, geopolitical boundaries, and political authority in general. So idk if he’d accept a title like “president”.
That’s the classic cliché of him being good for that role because he didn’t want it.
