Little Nellie story illustrates God is greatest in apparent weakness

I am normally a fan of Victoria White’s excellent and perceptive column. But her article on Nellie Organ (Irish Examiner, 27 August) displays a profound lack of insight into the central mysteries of Christianity, whether of Catholic, Orthodox or Protestant variety.

I wonder what Ms White would have to say had she been reporting on Calvary? Let us borrow her words: “Every time I see a picture of the crucified Jesus I want to get sick. The horror of it. The dying man, arms outstretched in his last agonies, nails through his hands, abandoned by almost everyone…it is a repulsive image” .

Perhaps Ms White is unaware it is a tenet of Christianity that God is greatest in apparent weakness.
