This is a big slide but I don’t want to start a thread and I am ticked off.
Fox News website has an article about trying to remove a candle from a Catholic hospital chapel using safety as it’s reasons. It is in a chapel there and the article says the candle represents Jesus in the Eucharist.
What ignoramuses!!!!! Right on the wall is a tabernacle holding the heart of our faith the Eucharist. There is a table there obviously serves as an altar and a lectionary off to the side. In our faith when the Eucharist is present the candle must remain lit. The article says nothing about that just focuses on the candle. The candle must remain lit.
And it is a wall tabernacle, I looked up the style and here is a link for one for sale. Obviously a key lock on it. It is the same one as is in the Fox article.
Here is the fox article -

and here is the one for sale. https://www.google.com/search?q=built+in+wall+chapel+tabernacle&sxsrf=APwXEdd_vHQXSjx-q2sGNyjoHHUp4-P-7A:1683217192317&source=lnms&tbm=shop&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjfu8_WiNz-AhUxkokEHR70BtkQ0pQJegQIBhAE&biw=960&bih=526&dpr=1.5#spd=4730913985045517664

Melian if I could make a meme out of this I would. This is about religious freedom not the safety of a candle.
Forgive the slide but I am really cheesed off.
