A Catholic bishop condemned a nativity scene that depicts Mary holding Jesus in a rubber boat to symbolize the plight of migrants crossing the Mediterranean.

Italian bishop Ernesto Vecchi said that the nativity featured in the town of Castenaso should not depict Mary or Jesus in a boat, as the manger “is the sign that God as a rich man made himself poor for us, that Christ died on the cross for us and his resurrection is also ours,” according to Il Resto Di Carlino. Vecchi did not take issue with the inclusion of a boat or other symbols of the migrant crisis, but said that replacing the manger with a migrant dinghy robbed the nativity of the focus on the universality of Christ’s salvation.

Jesus was never a migrant. Everywhere He lived was within the Roman empire. It'd be like someone moving from Nevada to Ohio and calling themselves a migrant.
