About Jesus being more than a 'nice guy'

From a Lenten reflection by Archbishop Leo Cushley: Catholic Herald 7.4.17

As the Irish rock star Bono said in 2013: "When people say 'good teacher', 'prophet', 'really nice guy'- this is not really how Jesus thought of himself. So, you're left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who he said he was or a complete and utter nutcase. You have to make a choice on that, and I believe that Jesus was (........) the Son of God."

Me too; that 's the kind of talking I like, down to earth, ordinary.
