St. Paul said, "We preach not ourselves but Christ and Him Crucified". ...

This is why there are Protestants.

Actually, most Protestants I know get REALLY MAD when Catholic art or a necklace depicts Christ crucified upon the cross.

Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer. [IICor 5:16]

I don't get really mad (or mad at all, for that matter), it's just a doctrinal disagreement I suppose. This is why protestants are generally not big on statues/statuettes and the like.

It's the form of "art" we disagree with, not the subject of the art.
