I can't believe no one has commented yet, Sentimental Johnny being the best song Flogging molly has ever written (in my not-so-humble opinion) To me, it is about someone's mentor/idol. I think the referenaces to Jesus throughout the song are because Johnny is the paradigm that the singer wants to live up to as many people, and perhaps a personal messiah from one point in the singer's life.
