But I do agree that the Vatican is the custodian of pagan culture. LOL!
So all of the pictures of the Lord are pagan?

Pictures of the "lord"?  How do you know what He looks like?  At any rate, I was referring to ancient pagan idols, Tony--such as the Venus statue depicted as placing her hand over her pudenda.  This was meant to show her as a "perpetual virgin".  smiley: wink

But who even worships Venus? It is a piece of art work and nothing more.


We weren't talking about "worship".  We were talking about your church's caretakership of these items.  It was not "art", Tony.  It was for the purpose of worship for those who believed in Venus.  It is an idol, not "art".  It is artist, but it is an artistic idol.
