    I don’t have any problems with building beautiful things like cathedrals or making art in the name of God

    What about Catholics praying to little figurines and statues of saints? Because that’s been going on for a long time

      You know how people used to put pictures of their loved ones in a locket, or in their wallets, or as a background pic on their phones? That’s what they were supposed to be. (As told by a catholic friend)

      I can accept that. I have one of my kids in the car cause I used to drive like a maniac. It’s a constant reminder of the kind of person I should be while driving.

      But of course, people will be people, ignoring what they’re told and doing whatever the hell they like… “This statue cried blood, let’s pray to it!” (and ignore the leaking toilet upstairs)
