By Fr. Dwight Longenecker, Crisis Magazine - ...the 21st century twenty-something with virtually no understanding of Christianity might well ask, “What does the execution of a criminal two thousand years ago have to do with me?…Just how, exactly, does the gruesome death of an insurrectionist on a Friday afternoon so long ago and so far away wipe out the naughty things I’ve done?”... I sympathize. Just what does the crucifix mean to modern man with smart phones and jet planes?
