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?

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.
