The Church must stop trivialising Easter
Private Eye ran a cartoon some years ago of St Peter standing in front of Jesus’s Cross and saying to the other Disciples: “It’s time to put this behind us now and move on.” It was a satire not on Christian belief, but on politicians and counsellors, and their trivialising mantras. It depended on Jesus’s death being not just an odd, forgettable event – and that it was His Resurrection, rather than a shoulder- shrugging desire to “move on”, that got the early Christians going.
