You do realize that Prior to 1455 it was very expensive to copy Bibles/ books and that most people did not own one. I am sure that you are also aware that at that time the vast majority of the population was illiterate and that the use of Art objects was a good way to convey biblical truths to an illiterate population.

Yeah, and I'm sure that an illiterate and impoverished population had an abundance of inexpensive art objects readily available to them.

Who made all the copies of the art objects and how would that be cheaper than the copied books?

Do Catholics ever think through what they believe or are spoon fed?

Sigh, intellectual dishonesty from the protestants again, I wish I could say I am surprised.

Yes the Art objects such as paintings, Statuary, and stained glass do cost money. but just as a photo of a family member that you have conveys a memory of a story of something of importance the art objects do as well. If you see a picture of David slaying Goliath, you relay it to someone that doesn't read or a small child and they can relay it to another person. All with out having a book in front of them. Further as you know some people are visual learners and picture cues work better for them than audio cues, or help to enhance the audio cues.
