The statue of Mary is designed to be the main and likely the only focus in that setting... If you have ever been at a Catholic Mass, you surely noticed that the focus is on what is happening at the altar.
To: wagglebee
But what does this have to do with the church pictured in 1380?Let me ask another then...Would Catholics WANT to worship with out all that stuff that's required in one of your Masses???

Thank you both for your responses, again, interesting points! I must admit at this point I’m hoping to garner more responses to my post # 145 before I post any replies to the replies I’ve received so far. I am generally pleased with what has been posted so far though, thanks again!
To: Iscool
Would Catholics WANT to worship with out all that stuff that's required in one of your Masses??? There is no "requirement" for there to be any statues in a Catholic church or at a mass, if you believe otherwise you are mistaken.
But you STILL haven't indicated how this has ANYTHING to do with the pictures in 1380.

You think men like this are above extorting Suzie for her money in exchange for a heretical indulgence if it can get them another hours with a prostitute?I think you need to support your original claim.

So what is the clinical name for that pathology, Dawg? heh heh.
"Is it you, you troubler of Israel?" Lead me zot into temptation.
Um, among the non-clinical names is "psychic vampire", which addresses the need to feed off of others, and the drained feeling others have after an engagement with a sufferer.
But in the soon to be world-renowned MDDSM (Mad Dawg Diagnostic and Statistical Manual) it is
of course
(drum roll)
Ladieez and Gentledudes! Give it up for ....
Sado-Evangelism!

Amen !

God reads the thoughts and intents of our hearts. It would be nice if you kept that in mind before claiming others here worship the Blessed Virgin Mary. You know, the one you denigrate so freely.
To: griffin
What a cleansed version of the truth from the murderers themselves. He was executed by the political leadership of the Holy Roman Empire. Do you know what that is?
Here's a hint: It was neither holy nor Roman nor an Empire.

Mama Mia! That's a pretty church!
Too bad about the crucifix. They must worship what one Protestant here called a "feckless" Jesus.

Anti-Catholic: Almost certain, I’ve got this comic book, I mean tract, that explains it all right here. In fact I have an entire box of these comic books in my trunk, I litter the parking lots of Catholic churches with them weekly.

Yep, this “den of thieves” is so full of idolatry that there are even statues praying to other statues.

She is showing us the way to Him, which is the whole point.Then why is Jesus NOT the one bathed in light with Mary at his feet pointing UP???

What stuff is “required” at our Masses?

"All" does not mean "only."
And "profitable" does not mean "sufficient."
I'm probably a day late and a dollar short on this thread but, seeing the Soothing one participating, I couldn't resist commenting on your reading skills.
"this" does not mean "Peter".

Do you deny that the Real Presense is a tenet of faith for the majority of Christians?Why deny it??? It's just not true...Half of your Catholics don't even believe it...
To: Mad Dawg
They must worship what one Protestant here called a "feckless" Jesus. The probably "re-Crucify" Him.
