Wonderful story. And very surprising to find it in the Old Gray Lady. Even the Times has moments of recognition and insight, it would seem.
An amazing picture and an amazing article from the NY Times, about religious faith and yet devoid of snark.
The double devastation at Breezy Point is almost too terrible to contemplate.
Look no house! - Mary in a bathtube? I would say the glass is half empty. God would say...Thou shall make unto thy selves no graven images!
Bump!
That’s nice and all that, but it almost seems to suggest that God cares more about symbolic statues than about human beings and their homes.
I’d rather put it down to, “Stone statues don’t burn and aren’t damaged by water.”
The subtlety is lost on the hateful Holy Rollers.
Thanks for sharing this article. I’m not Catholic but as a human it touched me to see this statue of Mary still standing.
