"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

i tracked down the commercial, and i think it's pretty inoffensive across the board. though i get how people who want christianity to be the cudgel they use to punish out-groups wouldn't like it.

the weirdest part about it, aesthetically, was playing a cover of the INXS ballad originally written and performed by a guy that died from autoerotic asphyxiation.

died from autoerotic asphyxiation

I was wondering if this would count as suicide from a theological perspective, my conclusion was it wouldn't.
