Qui Est in Centro Vostrae Religionis?

Amici, Americani, Compatriotae,

Who is in the center of your religion? God or Man? The Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God? Or a rock and roll band with feel good music and a preacher boy in t-shirt and jeans with tickle your ears feel good psycho-babble? Is your worship that of two thousand years of sacred Christian tradition in Eastern Orthodoxy and the Latin West? Or is it something made up in the last five years to titillate the senses and enthrall the emotions? I ask you: where do you see Christian ANYTHING in the photo on the right? It's obvious on the left: behold the icon of the Theotokos with the Christ Child and the Tabernacle where the Consecrated Hosts - Jesus' very Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity - lay in adoration beneath the Cross.

Holiness vs Buffonery
