Wear the Crucifix

Exercise your religious freedom: wear the crucifix where Christ crucified is not welcomed, is denied, is spurned, is blasphemed.

Wear the crucifix in schools, in courts, in palaces, in the halls of Congress, in state capitol buildings.

Wear the crucifix on the street, in the shops, in the subway, on the bus and in the train.

Wear the image of the Savior in the act of consummating His divine love for the human race.

The crucifix pins pictured are available by visiting this link.

See the previous post on Cardinal Vallini's comments following the decision by the European Court of Human Rights that crucifixes should be removed from classrooms because it impinges on religious freedom.

In truth, this decision impinges on the human rights of the Italian people who have chosen the crucifix as a symbol of their culture, history and experience.

Would you happily proclaim at Mass the antiphon, "Tell out among the nations His glory"?
