***Fine. Traditional paintings may depict Mary at the foot of the cross, but the photo I posted shows a cross erected in the main Mary Basilica in Rome with Mary on the cross with Jesus.***
Who says? Your photo is found at the http://www.wayoflife.org/ which is a very anti Catholic website. Do you anything other than a heretical website which claims much and proves little? Prove that this is found at the Vatican or indeed in any Catholic Church.
If it is, then I was previously unaware of it. If it is not, then it is business as usual for the enemies of Christ, right?
See post 478. I doubt a Protestant carved either of those statues. But Roman Catholics have a difficult time accepting what’s in front of their eyes, so doubt the photos all you want. After seeing the way “conservative” Roman Catholics lined up to cheer Ratzinger’s foul encyclical calling for a “global authority,” I’m not surprised by their ability to defend the indefensible.
