      It's a classic anti-catholic jab from protestants. Catholic Jesus is permanently on the cross, dying/'dead' while protestant jesus is off the cross and resurrected thus 'living'

            Wait, so Catholics believe Jesus is in a perpetual state of suffering while also existing as the Father and the Holy Spirit?

              It's more that during the reformation everyone was publishing leaflets about how everyone they disagreed with was actually worshipping the devil so they came up with actually really inane divisions like kinds of iconography and worked backwards from there to develop brand new theology on the fly to justify the insane things they published. For most people 'guy on the cross' just equals 'be thankful that's not me' but when some Luther fanboy writes a pamphlet about how catholics love to see jesus suffer eternally because they're satanists you end up inventing new theology to say 'no, actually jesus's sacrifice is eternal and you just don't get it like I do'

              No, he's resurrected and ascended to heaven, so I guess they're mad about the symbol of the crucified jesus? Idk I only have catholic brainworms not protestant ones

              Nah, Catholics believe he was born as a person, lived, suffered, and died as a being that was both fully human and fully divine. His suffering and death were him being punished for our sins, “bearing our cross”, so to speak.
