I would argue that adoption of the crucifix was more troubling and a good indication of how they wanted to limit the true value of what Jesus did here through his words, his acts, and the Resurrection.
The murder of Jesus Christ is one small aspect of his existence here, and yes while important and key to the redemption of mankind, the crucifix has always looked more like a celebration of that act from the spiritual and genetic ancestors of the perpetrators of that murder.
The Catholic church has been compromised for the vast majority of its history.
Of course the church is compromised. One of the apostles played a part in Christ's death. All of humanity is compromised. Despite this, Christ still decided to work through man.
He didn't write a book. He wrote his law into the hearts of twelve men and sent them forth. They in turn imitated him and wrote his law into others and sent them forth.
it's a mystery to me why he decided to work this way. I am fearful for what men like Bergoglio can do. I cannot deny thought that that is what he decided to do. I cannot deny that no matter what Bergoglio does it can not exceed the crime which Judas committed. Christ knew what he was doing then and he knows what he is doing now.
It is no celebration of murder.
John 10:18
Chirst chose to lay down his life.
Romans 5:7
His act was a demonstration of love.
1 John 3:16
We ought to imitate his love.
This is what comes to the mind of a Catholic when he sees the cross. "As I loved so must you".
I am well aware of these things.
What were the original symbols of Christianity?
Why was the method of his material "death" ultimately chosen as the official symbol after all that time?
If any symbol is worth using the holy spirit dove is a good one.
The cross was a tool of execution. Like the electric chair. It overshadows the resurrection which was the point of Christ sacrifice. To be the firstborn among many brethren.
