To tell you the truth, I don't really know. The pictures I posted were not of a Catholic church, in fact they were of a Protestant church. More to the point, they are of the church where the Reformation began. Many of those depicted in the statues, stained glass and paintings are not even people from Scripture, they are Protestants.

What church and how old?

It sure doesn't look like many Protestant churches I've been in.

Besides, some Protestant denominations still have a strong Catholic flavor. Is there something wrong with that?

I wouldn't be surprised especially if it's in Europe. If size and ornateness conferred status and quality it wouldn't be surprising to see competing cathedrals. I'm curious why we are so easily caught up in believing this reflects the quality of our worship and beliefs.

It’s All Saints’ Church in Wittenberg, Germany. It has been extensively renovated over the centuries to give it a decidedly Protestant “flavor” (much of the renovation was actually necessitated by extensive damage, including a fire, during the Seven Years War).
