Funny...He Doesn't LOOK Italian....
There's quite a tempest brewing over an advertisement playing in Italy. The advertisement shows the Christ the Redeemer statue that overlooks Rio de Janeiro.
From Catholic Culture:
The Archdiocese of Rio de Janeiro is “deeply offended” by an Italian television network’s advertisement for World Cup coverage, which included an image of the famous “Christ the Redeemer” statue wearing the jersey of the Italian national team.
The digitally altered image of the statue that was broadcast by the Rai network was an insult to the faith and to the city, the Brazilian archdiocese said. Church officials threatened to take legal action against the broadcaster.
Personally I think that if Jesus had in fact played for the Italian National team, the three times he fell during the Stations of the Cross would have been fake dives.
