After World War II and during the Cold War, it was said that America is not a nation based on ethnicity, as in the European nations, nor on race, as in the recently defeated Fascist nations. Rather, America is based on ideas as articulated in the Declaration of Independence and embodied in the Constitution with its Bill of Rights.

Adrian Warnock has devised a set of criteria for Christian blogs and has asked the Artificial Intelligence application ChatGPT to apply them and to rank the blogs accordingly. Cranach came in at #8!

Defenders claim it's just a scene from Greek mythology. But the very title of the performance refers to Holy Communion!
