Obviously, Protestants are afraid and repulsed by death, dead bodies, skeletons and God knows what else. Since Catholics came through the Black Death, perhaps they are inured to the horrors of dead bodies. Certainly, I’m not afraid of them and certainly believe this is a very beautiful and deep ritual.

Jesus said to bury the dead ....the catholic church digs them up and distributes their body parts throughout their churches...something Jesus would have never supported nor did HE....in fact doing so is opposes what HE said.

Jeffrey Dalmer had no problems with body parts either as other derranged individuals like him. We call them "sick headed"....but attach catholicism to the same practices and suddenly it's holy.

Baloney..its sacrilegious in every way to rob graves...and ship body parts acroos the nation and world for public worship and display.

No, Protestants are against veneration/worship of the dead like the pagans do.

There’s something about the mindset of someone who thinks that a decorated macabre corpse is *beautiful*.....

Of course as in any objection to something Catholics do, non-Catholics are always accused of fearing it.

Nobody can fear death when they’ve died in Christ and conquered it.

Nor are we repulsed by it.

What repulses normal people is the adorning and *veneration* of death bodies and dead body parts.

It’s not a natural or healthy of Godly obsession.

Since Catholics endlessly repeat...

Hail Mary; Mother of GOD, Pray for us...

...they get the idea drummed into their heads that she is Omnipotent and CAN actually hear and pray for them.

[Elsie]

that she is Omnipotent ...

I mistyped.

I've been corrected over and over that she is NOT Omnipotent; but merely TIMELESS in Heaven.

Carry on...
