It ain’t the cross that bothers me; but the GRAVEN IMAGE on it.
I seem to recall reading; somewhere...
Yes God said not to make graven images and now down and worship them because he had no form. Then came Jesus, who is God incarnate.
But then again he told them to build the Ark with the 2 angels on top, how to adorn the walls of the temple and to make the brass serpent. Guess there were some exceptions.
I think I remember reading that in the Bible, which was compiled by the Catholic Church you disparage and written by it’s saints.
