Catholic and Enjoying It!
In which we look at the 1.5 Commandment and answer the musical question: “If images are forbidden, why are there so many images of Evangelical faces on TV and so many Protestants with bowling trophies how come Romanists have all those statues?
Which reminds me of a story: A friend of mine said he took a Presbyterian friend to Marytown in Chicago for a look-see. The Calvinist guy was weirded out by the Fatima statues they have out front, depicting the children kneeling in prayer before the Blessed Virgin. The Catholic (a convert from Calvinism himself) watched his friend eyeing the statues warily and then remarked, “That’s the great thing about being Catholic! Not only do we get to worship statues, but our statues worship statues!”
Note to the humor-impaired: Catholics don’t worship statues.
