that the Catholic Church does not have nor promote ANY idols.

= = =

I know that’s what the RC edifice SAYS out of one side of it’s magicsterical mouth.

WHAT IT DOES

if OBVIOUSLY quite another matter.

I’ve been in a number of RC buildings. It’s not rocket science to conclude that the RC edifice DOES PROMOTE idols.

Rationalizations to the contrary are transparent and full of hogwash to anyone with a fair-minded enough objective distance from the emotionality of the issue.

The wallet photos and asking mortal friends for prayers are entirely different. I think part of you knows that.

I didn’t think that you were a rocket scientist.

I haven’t observed objectivity in many of your posts especially dealing with the Church and with UFOs.

If you've been in a number of Roman Catholic Churches, then I'm sure you've seen some incredible art (at least I hope so!)

For centuries, Catholic Churches were built to give glory to God and to educate His people. The church where we assist at Mass was built in 1876 and is like a beautiful art museum.

My husband decided to be baptized back in '86 after going to church with me. He said when he walked in the church, "God is definitely here!" And that was it for him!

Oh, by the way, please explain why God gave Moses such exact plans for the Ark of the Covenant (Exodus, Ch. 10), which included statues of cherubs to be place on top of it? Or the brazen serpent from Number 21:8, which the people were to look upon in order to be healed. They were NOT idols. DUH.
