This reminds this editor of the old Reese’s cup ads: “You got your chocolate in my peanut butter!” You’ve got the people who call Republicans “Christofascists” and the women who dress as handmaids calling for the government, especially the Supreme Court, to keep their Catholicism out of citizens’ lives. And then you have the people who do everything they can to prove that the Bible is as woke as they are. These are the Matthew Dowd types, arguing that if Jesus Christ were alive today (and to true Christians, He is), he’d be called a “groomer” by the Right.
Over in the U.K., The Telegraph is reporting that a junior research fellow at Cambridge posited the “legitimate” argument that Jesus Christ was transgender.
🔴Dr Michael Banner, the dean of Trinity College, said such a view was “legitimate” after a row over a sermon by a Cambridge research student that claimed Christ had a “trans body”, The Telegraph can disclose https://t.co/c4M0pT9Ga8

The Telegraph reports:
Jesus could have been transgender, according to a University of Cambridge dean.
Dr Michael Banner, the dean of Trinity College, said such a view was “legitimate” after a row over a sermon by a Cambridge research student that claimed Christ had a “trans body”, The Telegraph can disclose.
The “truly shocking” address at last Sunday’s evensong at Trinity College chapel, saw Joshua Heath, a junior research fellow, display Renaissance and Medieval paintings of the crucifixion that depicted a side wound that the guest preacher likened to a vagina.
Worshippers told The Telegraph they were left “in tears” and felt excluded from the church, with one shouting “heresy” at the Dean upon leaving.
So images of Jesus’ bleeding wounds look like a vagina to this guy?
Is there a name for this heresy?https://t.co/mIVQF3NN6O pic.twitter.com/Il4naH3r7u

And here we have an example of one reason why people no longer attend church.

I think it may actually be blasphemy.

Absolutely ridiculous and wrong. God so loved the world that He gave His only Son….

Does the name Baphomet ring any bells here.

What is going on in our universities and colleges. Hateful. I’m hot particularly religious, but this is a terrible idea.

This is Jesus Christ reportedly getting his period:
It continues:
Heath, whose PhD was supervised by the former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, also told worshippers that in the Prayer Book of Bonne of Luxembourg, from the 14th century, this side wound was isolated and “takes on a decidedly vaginal appearance”.
Heath also drew on non-erotic depictions of Christ’s penis in historical art, which “urge a welcoming rather than hostile response towards the raised voices of trans people”.
