The far-left New York Times was forced to issue a humiliating correction this week after describing “the body of Christ” as a statue. The story by Elian Peltier was titled “The Chaplain, the Cathedral Fire and the Race to Rescue Notre-Dame’s Relics” and offered a detailed account of Father Jean-Marc Fournier (the Paris Fire Department chaplain) and his heroic efforts to save cherished Notre Dame’s treasures and relics during that devastating fire. In the second paragraph, the Times quotes him as saying, “I had two priorities: to save the crown of thorns and a statue of Jesus.”

Isn´t the NYT primarily owned by Jews?

Christian hating atheists do not know anything about Christianity. What a shocker.
Of course, it is the NYT, and that means a unique stew if leftist garbage, communist propaganda and anti-Christian hate boiled for about half a century into a stinking stew that they ladle out every day. And people line up for more.

Almost 100% of Media employees do not attend a church and do no know anyone who does.

I am loathe to give anyone from the NYT the benefit of a doubt, but this sounds to me like an honest misunderstanding on the writer´s part.
And if that is the case because the secular American reporter is not up to speed on Church language or terms, so what? And what else is new?
I find this mildly humorous.
I understand Nolte´s pique over the NYT´s overall hostility toward Christianity. That is a legitimate complaint and I share it. But this seems to me to be an unintended flub in what Nolte agrees was a well written article.

I am still laughing over the NYT and its growing ignorance. One year after Easter Sunday our pastor was talking to the newly baptised young people in church. He asked them, ´´When did Jesus die?´´ The kids all shouted out. ´´He´s not dead! He arose.´´
Instead of any arrogance about the media´s loss, those of us who believe could pray sincerely that all of them would come to a saving knowledge. It isn´t something you can force.

Chuck Todd said or tweeted last year on Good Friday: Shouldn´t everyday be a good Friday where you do something good? I didn´t think anyone could be THAT ignorant, but I was wrong.

Chuck Todd´s exact tweet last year, "I’m a bit hokey when it comes to “Good Friday.” I don’t mean disrespect to the religious aspect of the day, but I love the idea of reminding folks that any day can become “good,” all it takes is a little selflessness on our own part. Works EVERY time." Now that is what I call ignorant. Sorry about the second post but I wanted to get his words right.

I don´t blame the reporter, no doubt doing his best, but is this a religion writer for the NYT? Whom they send to cover big events in the Catholic Church? It is fine if most people do not know how we work, but the NYT?

# 11, they probably figured "That guy Peltier speaks French, he´ll do."

Ummmmmmmmm I would have made the same mistake, not being Catholic. To Catholics, the wafers are in fact the body of Christ. To Lutherans something magical happens when the wafer is consumed and it somehow becomes the body of Christ. To others, it´s symbolic.
Perhaps the NYT´s should have asked better questions, but I can see how the mistake was easily made.
Lord it irritates me when I have to defend liberals.................

We celebrate an empty cross because Chrs has risen! The cross is the bridge between this life an the next. I don´t need a statue because Christ, through His Holy Spirit, lives in me!

#13- For clarity, Lutherans believe what St. Paul states in I Corinthians 11:26 – "For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord´s death until he comes." What St. Paul is saying, is “...that when we receive the Lord’s Supper we are ‘eating bread’ and ‘drinking the cup’ (wine), but he goes on to say those who eat this bread and drink this cup are also partaking of the true body and blood of Christ.” It is mystery, but not considered “magical.”

#15 Correction, inadvertently did not include complete explanation; mea culpa. #15 paragraph should have been preceded by this: “In all three accounts of the institution of the Lord’s Supper in the Gospels explicitly state that Jesus took BREAD, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to his disciples saying, ‘Take, eat; this [i.e., this BREAD, which I have just blessed and broken and am now giving to you] is my body.’ Jesus uses similar language in referring to ‘the cup’ (of wine) as ‘His blood.’ A plain and straightforward reading of these words leads to the conclusion that BOTH bread AND body, BOTH wine AND blood are present in the consecrated elements of the Lord´s Supper.” (Matthew. 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-25; Luke 22:14-23)

This morning, "Good Morning, America" ran a little factoid: "How often do you read the Bible?" - 45% answered "Never."
Wow.
Except, who answered this question? The general population, including Jews, Moslems, Buddhists, etc? Only those who would traditionally have a Christian background? Practicing Christians?
And were they specifying just the Christian Bible, and why just "Bible"? The Jews also have Talmud and some Christians have missals or the Book of the Mormon. Right now, I am not reading the Bible, per se. I am reading a overview of the New Testament. So does reading a book that examines specific aspects of the "Bible" and refers to specific verses not count as "reading the Bible"?
What a stupid, simplistic (in the proper definition of the word) question.
And why did they run this on Easter Sunday?

Anything to do with the Holy Trinity outrages the left, far left, socialists, and communists. I´m sure glad Noad only took animals abord the Arc. We didn´t need any cockamammy politics brough on by man.
