Metmom...A bit off subject but here’s the Pope “embracing” a statue. Posting this because catholics say they don’t do such things as an act of worship...well in front of 6,ooo people he is indeed ‘embracing’ a statue. Just annoys me no end the obvious is obvious to everyone else except the catholics....Embracing shrines/statues is exactly what the pagans did and God said don’t do this.
An estimated 6,000 people attended the open-air Mass in the shadow of Santiago’s ornate cathedral, where Benedict prayed before the apostle James’ tomb, embraced his statue.........
