22-Foot Armless Jesus

May 24th, 2007 at 4:58 pm · 3 Comments ·

No, it’s not a new band name. Not sure if this made the national news or not, but the Jesus statue at the Mother Carbrini shrine (about a 20 minute drive from my place) was heavily damaged by a lightning strike last weekend. Suddenly, I think I’m believing in God again, but he’s either the Old Testament God or a God with a very strange sense of humor. As usual, Kenny Be nails it in this week’s Westword.

Latre.

    Cabrini Jesus must have done something bad.

    “MC 22-Foot Armless Jesus, exactly how do you come to the conclusion that truth is out of style?”

    Either the Catholics have the wrong idea about the graven images thing, or since lightning takes the shortest path to the ground it should not be surprising that it struck something standing 22 feet high. Each of us must decide for ourselves which is true.
