Jesus: Social Revolutionary | Why was Jesus crucified? You don't get crucified for telling people to love one another - unless by love you mean something so radical, so threatening, so subversive of the way that people live, that the authorities feel they have to get rid of you. Crucifixion was reserved for revolutionaries.
Peter McVerry, SJ
