Buildings can be decorated beautifully without idols statues to pray to, light candles to, and bow down to.

we don't pray to, light candles to, nor bow down to a statue. Youn seem to know little about the Catholic church yet continue to make inane statements concerning Her beliefs and practices.

In every Catholic church you will find a crucifix....in case you didn't know , it is a cross with the corpus (Christ) attached.....just like it might have looked at the actual crucifixation.

Catholics use that to remind them of what Christ actually went through for all of us.....we do not pray to the crucifix, it was manufactured by a church supply factory, probably in China...it is an object, it is a symbol, it is like the picture of your mom that you don't pay homage to.....It is a decoration but it helps us remember a person, just like the picture of mom!!!

Of course not.../heavy sarcasm,p.

Not for real. That's a nice, neat Jesus being crucified on the Catholic cross. Not a beat up, whipped, beard torn out, bloody, bones dislocated out of joint, naked Jesus.

That's what Jesus instituted communion for. Why isn't what HE did good enough that the Catholic church thought it could do better and change it?

The same China which is a communist country which has viciously persecuted anyone who professes belief in God?

Wonderful......

Words fail me at that.... There are just too many responses one could make to that to choose.
