@ nota bene
I think an excuse on your part would be in order
We're all grown folks here, at least chronologically.
My immediate thought was “
Honi soit qui mal y pense.” From
Wiki:
Honi soit qui mal y pense… is a French maximum used as the motto of the British chivalric Order of the Garter. It is translated as "May he be shamed who thinks badly of it"[1] or "Shame be to him who thinks evil of it" or "Evil (or shame) be to him that evil thinks"—although the French phrase is not gendered.

My second thought that you have evidently not spent much time meditating on the Crucifixion, and then I realized that as a declared Catholic, you must not be familiar with the Sorrowful Mysteries, which I find remarkable.
My third thought was that you are apparently unaware that whether Christ was crucified naked or wearing a loincloth—whether He was spared a terrible humiliation--has been a topic of debate for many, many centuries by scholars and also art historians.
From
Postil Magazine:
While traditionally Jesus and the two criminals are depicted as having a sort of loincloth for modesty (in a few depictions, Jesus even wears a full-length robe, called a colobium), a few very early depictions depict the victim as either being stark naked on the cross or with some loincloth on (also see illustration at left and below right, one of which is a graffito found in Puzzuoli, with the other being a gem found in Syria, dating from the late 2nd-3rd century). As a general rule of thumb, most of these early representations are not depictions made by Christians, who still didn’t depict the Crucifixion overtly during this time period, but were usually created by non-Christians and/or Gnostics.
While some take the position that Jesus was not spared even a loincloth when He was crucified, some believe that due to Jewish sensibilities, loincloths were left on or provided (it would be fitting to remind here that many people in ancient times did not even wear loincloths; for them, their tunics served as their undergarment). So, before we could have any conclusive evidence, it would seem that the best answer here for the moment is that it depended on the situation and the location.
Crucifixion, Part 2 – The Postil Magazine
The point of crucifixion was not just pain, but also humiliation, and there was tension between this and Jewish principle of “tzniut,” laws on modesty and discretion in dress and behavior. To what extent did the crowd who shouted “Crucify him!” care about tzniut? I don’t know, but I’ve at least wondered, having abandoned the jejune quite some time ago.
I hope that you will do the same. Spend some time thinking about the flagrum (the whip with thongs) and its vicious little bones that tore flesh and often caused hemorrhaging. Or watch Mel Gibson’s
The Passion of the Christ to see just how bloody and awful that was. How as Jesus made His way to Calvary, he was sweaty, bloody, and covered in spit and already so grievously injured that someone else had to pick up His cross and carry it the last of the way.
And then get back to me about how scandalized you are and whether the wine was actually wine is more important or worthy than the question I suggested for your next poll.
