This one is definetely Catholic. You can tell by the halo. But we know he had no such visual marking.
Phi 2:5-8 Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men;
and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross.
I agree that the halo isn't necessary, Adam, but I think they are just trying to highlight the fact that God's blessing was upon him (maybe not so much that this halo was "seen" at that time by people as much as it is for our benefit, now knowing.)
If you really want to go all the way, some believe that even having pictures of Jesus (or portraying Him in movies, for example) is a direct violation of Commandment #2 but I think we have to give others the benefit of the doubt and choose our battles carefully.
What do you think?
