Hey, that picture of a church that you posted backed in the 600s (I think) -- where was it? Sure was beautiful. I know we have a whole sidebar of conversation going about how to dust/clean it. LOL!

I know I wouldn't want to be the one who cleans it. Looks like a Catholic Church - right? crucifix, altar, statues??

The church picture I posted is Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. It is the church where Luther posted the 95 Theses and his tomb is at the alter. It is where the Reformation started, yet it still looks totally Catholic. The hatred of Crucifixes, statues, etc. is a modern invention that came about when mainstream Protestants realized there was no reason to hate Catholics.
