John Thavis | First the gestures, now the words: “Jesus was born in a manger” is sometimes heard sarcastically by visitors to the Vatican’s rather opulent chambers
I just read the article containing the quote above. And without getting into a longer, valid response to this attitude I just want to give one simple response:
Yes, Jesus was born in a manager, only the angels recognized Him for who He truly was. But, since His death and resurrection we have come to realize that He is was not simply an impoverished baby, He is King of all Kings which does merit the treasures the Church holds in His Name.
