The obvious link here is to The Holy Foreskin. No foreskin without penis. Q.E.D.

I don't know if this is a serious thread, but there was extensive discussion of this and related matters in the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, particularly regarding increasing numbers of representations of the naked baby Jesus in paintings with the Virgin Mary. A recent book on the subject was reviewed extensively a year or two ago in the New York Review of Books.

New Year's Day used to be the Feast of the Circumcision, for Catholics, but we had it changed a few years back.

There's a allegedly true story about a pedantic parishioner who used to insist on wishing everyone, including the parish priest, "Happy Circumcision" instead of "Happy New Year". Maybe that's why they changed it.

Given the faith that he was born into, it may be a good idea to recognise this and 'cut a lnog story short'?

Why wouldn't He have been?

and Jesus showed by his teachings and associations many times He had no problems with fornication, just adultery.

The Bible Question thread raises interesting points- was the Son of God Made Flesh made with a penis? And what are we to make of the morality of Conversion by Fornication?
