Titanites, it is quite obvious that you HAVE NOT read the last several hundred posts, otherwise you would understand that Catholics DO NOT understand what the Church is actually teaching.
For instance, it is entirely possible that the phrase "not allowed" REALLY means "go ahead and do it anyway."
Pssst! Hey! You're not supposed to tell 'em that until after they've signed over their assets.
Darn, the cat's out of the bag! Priests are directed to turn their backs on the objects of our idolatry and wehen we say,"Don't pray TO statues," what we mean is, "Go ahead, and if you have a goat, why not sacrifice it -- couldn't hurt."
