1. Who said Jesus was transgender? That was weird. π
2. Jesus actually appears in just about every other race depending where you are in the world.
It's in practice of expressing Christianity through local cultures. Catholics generally do not teach that Jesus literally belonged to every race. Instead, artists have often depicted him with features familiar to the local population to emphasize that Christ came for all people. And this doesn't mean we didn't know if He was Jewish or not.
Now back to your question "do you think that's Christ?"
Indeed Itβs an image of Christ, but not necessarily an image that matches His exact historical appearance.
Anyways what is your issue with it?
Could it be that you don't enjoy different artistic beauty of Christ?
Do you think we are trying to fake something? (Which I've already explained above that its not the case)
Or maybe you are emphasizing more on the Eucharist? We can talk about that if you like.

@Cervus2Leo@BishopJaxi But in that sense... This means the love and love IN obedience is the CAUSE of our faith to be made "real"
So by this, I believe its perfectly fine to say we are saved by Grace through Faith that Works out in Love.
Which is what saves us.
@PartesanJournal@ShaneSchaetzel Catholics are the first Christians, and those who wrote such as the NT are also the first Christians.
By logic, It's easy to say yes Catholics did. It's just the word "Catholic" wasn't founded in that time yet. However that doesn't mean Catholic didn't exist there.
@BelteshazzarAD@TheBasedTrinity "Bowing down and prayed to, is reserved for God alone"
Chapter and verse?
And I know that but it seems u got a lot in common with a fellow Protestant.πΰΎΰ½²
@LezoOli3112@BeardedOverland@Truth_matters20 I'm aware of those, and yes I agree too. But it shouldn't mean and either or. It is still a great way to identify the Church with this 4 pillars.
@needGod_net ....... Nah it's pretty easy.
We saved by Grace through faith that works out in love.
