Ok, I will join in.

I am a Catholic and I love the beautiful art in our churches....it inspires prayer. It’s like entering another world to reflect and pray in a beautiful old church. Nothing wrong with that. And I pray to God alone.

Pope Benedict XVI has NEVER been accused of adultory. You imply otherwise.

You, AppyPappy, are insulting your fellow FReepers.

Ya’ll are too tense and take yourselves too seriously.

Obamasama likes to have his staff go out with feigned indignation about alleged insults to his faith, race and politics.

Not grown up behavior at all.

For any Catholic to express surprise that others don't really agree with statues (or icons) is simply beyond belief. It's old news! Time to get over it and move on.
