I am shaking my head. When my son was in grade 5 (yep, Catholic) he had something stolen from his desk. I was told by the VP that he must have misplaced it because "these are Christian children and they don't steal". And obviously they make make Jesus rise from the Pilsbury Dough Boy as well.
Oh we're all into the Easter bunny and his cave and his best friend Jesus seeing his shadow, meaning there's 8 more months of winter...
I have found tho that the Catholicism propaganda has gotten more aggressive over the years. My daughter came home with a drawing she made of Jesus bleeding from stigmata. There was also talk of drinking blood and eating bodies. My kid thinks Jesus is a zombie.
Full disclosure: I’m probably the worst Catholic on the face of the planet. I was raised a Catholic, went to church every week, was an altar boy (and the answer to the question in your head is “no, I wasn’t molested”). But like many Catholics, I simply stopped practicing when I could no longer rationalize gaps in the Church’s explanations for things that didn’t pass the sniff test for what I knew to be true. If there’s ever a person to mock Catholicism, you’re reading his email right now.
I love those YMCA/Blasphemy “demotivational” photos and things of that sort. I have to say...”Resurrection Rolls” is right up there. Gotta wonder if this was on the menu at the Last Supper? Does it contain yeast? You know...to help them “rise”? (Oh yeah, I went there!)
I'm with ya' Anon. I don't even bother with my once-a-year Xmas visit anymore. The Catholic church is sooooo out of touch with the real world. I say that but my kids still go to separate school, after all these years it's for the social connection only and the bitchin' uniforms! They have got to start serving resurrection rolls at Mass, that'll get me back to church!
This recipe is from my daughter's Catholic school agenda.

Wow, just ... wow.
Interesting concept. An easy way to help a child understand what exactly happened (if that is your belief). But also, very, very disturbing.

Mixed messages? You're doing it right.
Resurrection Rolls? LOLZ.

I'm more fascinated by the disappearing marshmallow phenomenon! Will the Second Coming involve s'mores?
Easter is spring's answer to Hallowe'en. Ghosts galore!
@ Shirker - if the Second Coming involves S'mores this Jew might have to rethink the religion thing!
Resurrection rolls? Saviourlicious!
This thread made me laugh out loud! Needed that today..
