Not only do they love statues, but their statues love statues.
Attention, Baptists! The Pope and I approve of this message.
Mrs. I had the opportunity to visit Rome two years ago, I saw some of the most beautiful wall paintings, statues and tapestry ever, some would take your breath away.
(I is a shame we have seemed to have lost that art form)
A very nice young man was pointing this or that out and made a really good point, something I am sure I should have thought about, all of these art forms representing the Glory of God, the Story of Creation, The Bible in general because most people could not read.
So the teachers of the time had to use visual means to teach the Scriptures, to make them come alive so to speak.
Which is why these church building Catholic/Christian are covered with art.....I thought yep he is probably right.
