Tony, you are purposely eliding over the fact that your church is promoting what were idols. You still have not answered the question if you can picture Paul or Peter--even if they came to our time--being "caretakers" of these idols, being caretakers of the "art", or for that matter any art, and promoting those things.

The point is, what are men who claim to be preaching the Gospel doing with things that have nothing to do with the preaching of the Gospel, that were once worshiped as gods, not just as the statues they were, but what they represented, that these same pagans who worshiped that "art" and those gods that "art" represented, also persecuted the early believers of the Gospel because they did not worship those gods, so that they are in effect, soaked in the blood of the saints?  Why, Tony, why show a statue of a naked Venus, the goddess of fertility, whose hand is depicted as covering her pudenda, showing that she was supposed to be the perpetual virgin?  Why, Tony?  Why?
