The "Shame" of Prots vs. the "Shame" of Catholics
There is a very good reason why the Early Church refused to concentrate much on Christ’s crucifixion, or to permit visual representation of it until long after Europeans had forgotten what was the actual nature of this form of execution:

And, of course, there is still a huge amount of cognitive dissonance going on about this among , particularly, Protestant theologians and scholars of Sacred Scripture, who are much more into theological patriarchy than we “Mary-worshippers” ever were:

Most Catholics are much more able to accept the possibility of a “feminized Christ” than Prots are:

It’s interesting, isn’t it, what some cultures consider “humiliation,” and what other cultures do!
