I hope this isn't serious. Because clearly, if they left in "Son of God, love's pure light" "Jesus, Lord at thy birth!" they're not trying to avoid Church doctrine.
And it's common for broadcasters to go and shorten that down even more so they can fit it into a better time slot and cram in more ads(and make you question your sanity when movies have the most petty of differences that just don't feel right)

My thoughts too. I think they just wanted to shorten the song, so they took out the middle verse. It's still an explicitly Christian text.
Exactly.
My fuck we have a lot of stupids on this site lmao.
Agreed this is stupid lol
Also, it's super common to condense songs, remove verses, skip choruses, etc., in movies to make them fit the scenes better.

Exactly
or worse yet, guitar solos
This is only phase I. In phase II they replace "Jesus" with "JOSEPH STALLIN WASNT THAT BAD REAL COMMUNISM HAS NEVER BEEN TRIED!!"
xD
Disney totally removed Jesus from their Christmas special, guise
