The word “contempt” is not true.
But there are, or were at least, protestant groups that did not consider wearing a cross to be proper. This was based on two issues; one being the “graven image” issue, the other being that the focus ought better to be on the resurrenction rather than the crucufixion.
I think some of that is going away. For that matter (you might not know it to read some FR threads) but a lot of the inter-denominational hostility is easing, I think. Christians recognize fellow Christians where they find them, even if they disagree on points of doctrine. I think the fact that the fact that Christianity is so much under assault in the popular culture that people are starting to recognize their allies come from varied Christian backgrounds, but if they are willing to stand up under fire, they’re a brother nevertheless.
resurrenction = bad eyes
