"For the third straight year, the Nativity scene at a Catholic church in Massachusetts has taken on a political theme.

St. Susanna Parish in Dedham has unveiled its latest Nativity scene, which is centered on the issue of climate change.


The infant Jesus is depicted as floating on water that is filled with plastic bottles. He is also cradling a glob. Meanwhile, the shepherd's flock and the three wise men are drowning in the water.

Posted above the Nativity is the following message: "God so loved the world...will we?"

Fr. Stephen Josoma and his volunteer parishioners said the latest Nativity scene is not a political statement.

"I'm not sure if we're politicizing it; we're just painting an accurate picture of what the world is like this day," Josoma said.
