DEDHAM (CBS) – It’s an unconventional take on the nativity scene at St. Susanna’s Parish Dedham. The baby Jesus is in a cage, the wise men are closed off by a wall.

For the parish, the crèche is meant to be thought provoking. “We try to take a picture of the world as it is and put it together with a Christmas message,” said Pastor Fr. Stephen Josoma.

That message this year questions “peace on earth”, since Jesus represents migrant children being held at the southern border separated from their parents.

  When churches decided being social justice warriors instead of the messengers of God is when Christianity began it's downward trek.

When I first saw a picture of this, I thought it was to prevent the theft of Baby Jesus from the local, uh, population.  I still do.
