Quite honorable and Biblical work from my perspective.

And appreciated.

Oh, dear. I said that to GAMECOCK!

Another miracle. Build a altar in the middle of the road. Collect the magesterical. Order some pontifical robes.

Let's build some tabernacles right here in honor of the silly miracle.

why look to some individual's biblical beleifs when there's 282 perfectly good words written in black and white in Holy Scripture?

or instead we could hop on some protestant 'im gay and im okay' bus where the protestantsized depicitions of Jesus look like some latently homosexual hippy.

where I am misrepresenting any group

1-2 is a valid claim for the Catholic and Orthodox Churches combined, wrong for the LDS.
3: Catholic Chruch did not add anything to the Bible, see canons of Hippo and Carthage, or show me an approved Bible prior to Luther without the deuterocanonical books.
4: Suffering for the purging of forgiven sins is in 1 Cor 3
5 is nothing wrong. We love and praise who Jesus loved and praised.
6. Celibacy is a discipline and not a doctrine. Celibacy was praised by St. Paul and Christ Himself.
7 is accurate per the scripture, see Luke 1:43.
8 is accurate per the scripture, see Luke 22:32, Matthew 16:18.
9 is accurate per the prevailing usage since the Age of Martyrs; aslo see Jude 1:14, where the saints are the group assisting in judgement of all.
10 is again in 1 Cor 3.
11 is false for the Catholic Church. Doctrines get elaborated but they do not change or evolve to a different doctrine.

Quite an impressive harp.

Are there a lot of harps in Orthodox services?

I am a bit puzzled, though, I thought harps were supposed to blend pleasingly into the melodious whole . . .

I do think a lot of that sort of junk gets built up by pressure from the troops.

The masses feel lifted somehow by aggrandizing, elevating, worshipping their leaders.

A fascinating similarity is that both groups look to dead people for some kind of guidance and reward.

As Martin Luther wrote in his 95 Theses...

83. Again, "Why are funeral and anniversary masses for the dead continued and why does he (pope) not return or permit the withdrawal of the endowments founded for them, since it is wrong to pray for the redeemed?"
