I have never noted it before but it displays our loyalty to the man who has been appointed by God and not merely to an impersonal institution.

This is Roman Catholicism at its worst. There is maybe some connection with the persecution that you recall and the peasant mentality that causes beauty to be hated. We see some of that iconoclasm everywhere. Puritanism and the commonwealth destruction reappears every few generations but none with such destructive power and lack of the sense of the beautiful than the present generations.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13422232126454563383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503689522096376739.post-86297009546606088492011-04-20T09:39:51.290+01:002011-04-20T09:39:51.290+01:00Really intersting post about the background of the...Really intersting post about the background of the church.
