"Critics of the crucifix take issue with what appears to be a large penis covering Jesus’ abdominal area."
Lol.

i kinda like his expression. and the arms outstretched look like he's shrugging now. "yeah, that's my cock. so what."

Seeton said the portion of the crucifix in question is meant to be Jesus’ abdomen "showing distension” — not a penis.
in fairness, that could be showing distension and still be a penis

This thing has been around for centuries! The thing = depicting Jesus with an erection. I pointed this out in class as recent as YESTERDAY & was roundly mocked. But also: correct.

The San Damiano Cross is venerated due to the fact that it was the cross that St. Francis of Assisi was praying in front of when he allegedly heard the voice of Jesus Christ telling him thrice, "Francis, Francis, go and repair My house which, as you can see, is falling into ruins". The San Damiano Cross dates back to around 1100, and the identity of the artist is unknown, although he is believed to have lived in Umbria, Italy. Below is a photograph of the San Damiano Cross:

Everyone acted like I invented it. It's the same class where I tried to explain the Mom's Apple Pie album cover. There was a context for both, but I'm totally "the weird chick that talks about genital" now.

from The Life of Teresa of Jesus, autobiography of Saint Theresa of Ávila (1515–1582):
I saw in his hand a long spear of gold, and at the iron's point there seemed to be a little fire. He appeared to me to be thrusting it at times into my heart, and to pierce my very entrails; when he drew it out, he seemed to draw them out also, and to leave me all on fire with a great love of God. The pain was so great, that it made me moan; and yet so surpassing was the sweetness of this excessive pain, that I could not wish to be rid of it. The soul is satisfied now with nothing less than God. The pain is not bodily, but spiritual; though the body has its share in it. It is a caressing of love so sweet which now takes place between the soul and God, that I pray God of His goodness to make him experience it who may think that I am lying.

The Holy Prepuce
The Roman Catholic Church ended controversy over competing relics by ruling in 1900 that anyone writing or speaking of the holy prepuce would be excommunicated. In 1954, after much debate, the Vatican changed the punishment to the harsher excommunication, vitandi (shunned).
I suppose those of us who are already lapsed may continue to discuss without ecclesiastical censure.

In a discussion about the sacred and the profane, my English professor claimed that a lot of Medieval theologians used the image of ejaculating into Christ's wounds as a rhetorical device in their writings.

...but this was, like, 3 years ago, I've never been able to verify it. so what I'm tryna say is, this is probably not a good piece of trivia to whip out in a serious discussion, especially if you're Abbott.
― screamin' lord sufj (unregistered), Wednesday, 21 April 2010 00:19 (fourteen years ago) link
martin luther was pretty scatological but ejaculating into christ's wounds is some next level shit. Material for the next Deicide album no doubt!

This sounds like the literal definition of some two-syllable insult in another language.
