Well, the picture that is posted on the site doesn't show up (sorry) so you'll have to look at the website itself.

You can discern the "666" but I think it seems to be more chance than anything else.

Yep. And most artists were painting with their tails, although the more brazen ones used a rear hoof to hold the brush. I knew that sooner or later it would be found.

I guess we will have to wait and see if the RCC just dismisses this as nothing more than the fantasies of certain Catholic individuals who are bent on trying to notice something that isn't there or if they end up taking the better route of engaging in serious investigatory work to see if what has been postulated is indeed true.

Concerning the RCC taking the route of engaging in serious investigation concerning this matter, I wont hold my breath. LOL.

Funny thing about all of these accusations is that even if the most brazen antiChristian sympbology and artistry were embedded within those artifices, they still would have no power over devotion to God through the simplest of faith in Christ.

To paraphrase something Russel Kirk said, the Church threw away its centuries of beauty and began building (and decorating) it's buildings in the finest architectural traditions of McDonalds.

What a great - and sadly true - quote.

666, chance?

Did we just have 300 posts on this topic a day or two ago?

A glutton for punishment, that's what YOU are, posting this thread.

On the other hand, it IS Lent. I guess I'll just go pick up my flagellum and beat myself about the head and shoulders, and then for some serious mortification, come back and read this thread some more. ;-D

If that's the 'embedded' 666 it certainly isn't very subtle, it's rather large for an embedded image.

Perhaps it is meant to be 3 flats signifying the key of E flat.
