A metal baking sheet from a Houston elementary school has become an object of veneration for hundreds of Catholics who see an image of the Virgin Mary.

Venerating a baking sheet? Might I suggest God would be the proper focus of worship?

What is so terrible about people being attached to something that REPRESENTS to them, at least, something that God actually did?

If God dropped a Duesenberg in your back yard from the sky, would you be awed and be interested in keeping it or at least showing it to tell people how God had interacted with you? Or would you just discard it as "just another object"?
