CRUCITRIANGLE ?
Novus Ordo Watch calls it "Another Disgusting 'Crucifix,' courtesy of the 'New Springtime'"
UPDATE
This is the website of the community that uses that cross. They would be hard-pressed to look any more traditionally Catholic than the way they present themselves on the web. If someone familiar with pre-Vatican II Catholicism would look at them, they would see things to like. Until they got to the cross, I suppose.
They link San Egidio. The link goes to this webpage where you can see another dove with a rainbow behind it. Hmmmmm.
San Egidio seems to be about religions in dialogue for peace in the spirit of the Assisi events.
The Pallotines have a church in Florida. On the website they seem to be calling it a "U.S.A. circus church." How odd!
They have a Caritas organization at the Florida church. I wonder if it is associated with the one in Birmingham?
The website, as far as I've gone through it, looks like traditional Roman Catholicism. Yet there is that crucitriangle for a cross. Everything doesn't quite add up here. Are the Pallotines in communion with the Pope? Their prayers page is traditionally Catholic.
Is this group "Traditional" in everything except ecumenism? Is this the new trend in the Church, the one that will take root and grow with a veneer of being authentically Catholic despite the break with past encyclicals? The Catholicism of Pope Benedict? Can this truly be spun to be consistent with pre-VII doctrine?
Is there some way to dialogue while still holding Jesus up as Son of God with no equal? I just don't see how this can be possible.
