“Reactions to sin often swing to the other extreme. Doesn’t make either right.”

There was no sin in producing beautiful religious art that raised people’s spirits. Catholics were right to produce the art. Protestants were wrong to destroy it.

Catholics used to burn people st the stake for “heresy”. There’s a beam in your eye that needs attending to.

In a church that had so many problems, including idolatry, the reaction in the Reformation swung too far to the other side. This was an example.

I don’t support either side. If you do, fine. Makes for a more interesting discussion.

Grow up, vlad!!

What treasure will you have stored up for yourself in heaven worrying about treasure here?

Exactly why Catholicism is so foolish and dead itself...why worry about something that has absolutely no eternal consequences whatsoever?

Probably because this is all your dead religion teaches you is important.

May God help every single one of you see what is truly important in this life and the next.
