Pius X and the "Ignominious" Death of Jesus (cf. Nehor in Alma 1:15)


In the Catechism of Pius X (1908), we have the following question and answer about the fourth article of the creed:

4 Q. What class of punishment was that of the Cross?
A. The punishment of the Cross in those days was the cruelest and the most ignominious of all punishments.

One was reminded of the description of Nehor’s death in Alma 1:15. See:
