I could do w/o the graven image of Christ. A simple cross would work much better since He is no longer on the cross. Or better yet, an empty tomb.

I agree nonetheless I support his right to do what he wishes with his money on his property.

I agree.

The crucifix is not a graven image. A graven image is a fetish or idol. The crucifix is a symbol of the Catholic faith. Christ on the cross serves as a reminder of His love for us and that is was our sins that nailed Him to the cross. A cross without Christ is a symbol of ancient Rome and a lower case t. Christ deserves to be remembered on the cross. Without His Crucifixion there would have been no Resurrection.

You are free to erect a cross to suit your belief just as Monaghan and other Catholics are free to use the crucifix to keep us humble and remind us not to sin.

Can't have the resurrection without the sacrifice.

Preaching with art is still preaching!

"When I came to you, brothers, proclaiming the mystery of God, I did not come with sublimity of words or of wisdom. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. " (I Corinthians 2:1-2)

[Aquinasfan]

Or better yet, an empty tomb.

The Body of Christ still suffers.
