Well, you know, the default position of the "Sola Yourselfa" crowd always begins with some variation of, "that's what Scripture says, but that's not what it means". What else can you really expect from those who claim to be Christian but are as frightened by a Crucifix as the typical Hollywood styled Vampire is?

That's why we're told not to cast pearls before such swine and why the Church teaches us that such folks are anathema. They want to be their own religion of Self and obey whatever spirit it is that whispers to them, so let them swallow their own poison. All we can really do is pray they haven't already so hardened their hearts that they cannot hear the Holy Spirit trying to convince them to surrender to Christ before it's too late for them to do so.

Indeed. Happy Feast Day and Happy New Year!

And still here you are, day after day, doing exactly what you think your church forbids. Is that called hypocrisy?
