While the crucifix is tucked away off to the side.

Jesus is just a window dressing here.

Take Mary out of Catholicism and the whole thing collapses.

I challenged Catholics on several occasions to, for a whole month, focus and pray to only Jesus, and not Mary, and you’d think I was asking to kill their own mother. Most didn’t answer and the few that did expressed abject horror at the mere thought.

If only they had that kind of commitment to JESUS. You know, the One who actually suffered and died for them.
