All Catholic Churches in the world have a crucifix Since some churches are dispensing the crucifix on the main altar, inquiring minds would like to know, the number of scandals per church with the crucifix missing. After all, if you remove that which is most precious to the Catholic faith...wouldn't that contribute to erratic behaviour? He, Jesus, is not present therefore anything goes, would that be their attitude?

Palm Beach Co. Diocese Florida. Thanks, Romulus and Aske et al. I spend most of my time watching the AmChurch in horror. I imagine I look like Ignatius J. Reilly ("Confederacy of Dunces") did when he was watching a Doris Day movie.

A few years ago, I went back in for a visit and found the crucifix placed in the back of the church over to the side (barely visible unless you looked for it) and it had been replaced by a plain cross over the altar (which doesn't house the Tabernacle anymore) - the front pews - about the first 10 rows - had been ripped out and replaced with chairs that have no kneelers. My heart was broken. My point exactly! Thank you, american colleen. If you look deeper inside that church, you will probably find upgraded speakers for the electronic instruments that accompany the "Kumbaya" choir. And banners! These "contemporized" churches have banners everywhere. In fact, check out the "banner" (of the Blessed Virgin) just behind the main podium at the bishops conference. What a piece of work!! How inspiring is that?
And .. the music. Some of the contemporary music is beautiful but much of it reminds me of what they sing or perform in the Crystal Cathedral. Is it any wonder catholics are confused, angry, and lost?

You aren't being to picky. You are absolutely right that the tabernacle should be front and center.
You are without votive candles? I'm so sorry. That almost happened here, but in my role as banshee the votive candles have remained in place.

inquiring minds would like to know, the number of scandals per church with the crucifix missing. Gee, that could be a real interesting research project.
There is a beautiful crucifix in the Jesuit run church I attend now, no scandals that I know of.
