NORTHAMPTON, Mass.—The victim has probably forgiven the woman who ran him down in a Northampton crosswalk.
The police haven't.
Police say a Pittsfield woman has been cited for running down Lord Jesus Christ as he crossed the street in Northampton.

He was taken to the hospital for treatment of minor facial injuries.

everything in this "myth" could be fabricated
after all, the bible IS FICTION
but maybe the romans didnt like someone saying they were the son of their god?
just a thought
and Romans didn't start Catholicism.... & the Roman Empire was "pagan"
It is our desire that all the various nations which are subject to our clemency and moderation, should continue the profession of that religion which was delivered to the Romans by the divine Apostle Peter, as it has been preserved by faithful tradition and which is now professed by the Pontiff Damasus and by Peter, Bishop of Alexandria, a man of apostolic holiness. According to the apostolic teaching and the doctrine of the Gospel, let us believe in the one Deity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in equal majesty and in a holy Trinity. We authorize the followers of this law to assume the title Catholic Christians; but as for the others, since in our judgment they are foolish madmen, we decree that they shall be branded with the ignominious name of heretics, and shall not presume to give their conventicles the name of churches. They will suffer in the first place the chastisement of divine condemnation and the second the punishment of our authority, in accordance with the will of heaven will decide to inflict.[15] Theodosian Code XVI.i.2
The Romans had their own deities when they supposedly crucified Jesus; (Mars, Venus, Jupiter, etc.) This was where the whole "christians to the lions comes from"...
only the peasants worshiped Jesus because the Roman religion did nothing to benefit them.
Why would the Jews kill Jesus?... a fellow Jew
Funny you should mention this. I just finished reading Inferno. It was incredible, especially near the end. The Canto that describes the story of the one man trapped in the ice who is gnawing at the other guy as well as the one with Satan of course were my favourites.
I wouldn't call Roman Catholics... "Roman" (as connected with the Roman Empire). The Roman Empire had already moved up to Turkey when what you posted happened.
The Roman Empire was a completely different, and bigger, entity than Roman Catholics.
