I merely point out that Mr. Easter quite obviously has a chip on his own shoulder, as regards Catholic faith and practice. That he would dare to impugn the faith of others is disgusting -- he has no basis other than that he evidently hates the "idolatry" of Catholic iconography. He certainly is not God -- he cannot know what is in those peoples' hearts.

I think Mr. Easter might find the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector to be a relevant and timely read.

It doesn’t take anything more than physical eyes to see people prostrating themselves in front of pagan idols, such as Randall described, and know that this practice is demonic.

A chip on Randall’s shoulder? Did you read of his broken hearted examination of his own church once he returned home? He is broken over idolatry in every life he comes across - including his own.

Regarding Catholic iconography - is this not a violation of the command to NOT make graven images for people to worship?
