Vatican's Nativity Scene Causes Hilarity (Video)

Twitter-Commentators make fun about a Nativity Scene from the 1960s which was put up in Saint Peter's Square on December 11.

The scene includes an astronaut. Some asked whether this is Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon.

Deacon Nick Donnelly calls the crib “The Hideous Strength personified” noting influences from old idolatrous cults: "Indigenous idolatry really does have a hold over the Vatican doesn't it?".

For EWTN’s Raymond Arroyo the scene is “worse than advertised.” He detects in it Baby Yoda emerging from the Fisher-Price space man figurine.

Francis Rocca suspects that the Nativity Scene could turn out to be the most talked-about since the one of 2009 which cost €550,000.

For Damian Thompson the Vatican has given Pachamama a *fabulous* makeover for their Xmas Special.

Absolute insult to the Holy Family. Of course Anarchists would not bother to vandalize this display.

My children made a nativity scene like this with their Lego men when they were about four years old.

Hard to imagine anyone offering much veneration or prostrating themselves in front of that display
Is that the Christ child under that blanket? It looks more like R2d2.
......not much prostration from the Shepherds either.....
Is Francis a fan of Star Wars? Is the Pope from 1958 now the Pope of the Jedi Cult?
Hands up in horror! Whoever is behind this abominable outrage, should be put in a straight …More

Hands up in horror! Whoever is behind this abominable outrage, should be put in a straight jacket. Wishing Our Lord's Divinity, Majesty, & awe-inspiring JUSTIFIED wrath away is futile! Some one is about to burn for this irreverent, display of impiety!

"Christ is full of grace and truth" according to St John....??? God is not a children's toy or a game. Shame on these blind godless clerics.

Never mind Covid. The Vatican has a new medical emergency and they're totally unprepared to treat the victims...

Surely they intend irreparable disgust and dismay to grip every normal human who views it. I would like to say "May they rot in Hell" for this - uh but I won't say that. ah...just, God have mercy on their souls - really.

If that is a depiction of the "god" they serve - it explains a lot!
as it says in Romans 1
[21] Because that, when they KNEW God, they have not glorified Him as God, or given thanks; but became vain in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was darkened. [22] For professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. [23] And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of …More

[22] For professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. [23] And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of the image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and of four footed beasts, and of creeping things. [24] Wherefore God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness, to dishonour their own bodies among themselves. [25] Who changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Idolatry is committed, not merely by setting up false gods, but also by setting up false devils; by making men afraid of war or alcohol, or economic law, when they should be afraid of spiritual corruption and cowardice.

I don't like this. It is horrible. So glad we have a traditional Nativity Setting in our beautiful Church.

I don't like this at all. It is horrible.
