Changing the Trinity Cross

Reader comment on item: Away with Crucifixes, Crosses, and Christmas

Submitted by catholic pastor netherlands (Netherlands), May 13, 2009 at 03:33

Re the adaption of the name and design of the Trinity Cross in deference to Muslim sensibilities:

the next logical step is to change the name of Trinidad and Tobago itself - "Trinidad" is of course Spanish for "Trinity"...... After that we can go on and deal with other names that may hurt Muslim feelings: for example the Republic of El Salvador ("The Saviour"); San Francisco and Corpus Christi (Body of Christ) in the USA; Sao Paulo in Brazil; Santiago in Chile; Christchurch in New Zealand; St. Petersburg in Russia and so on........
