People need to move passed the desire to focus on material things at this time of .... put down my gold chalice you heathen!! How dare you touch it!!

Unless it's a divine flesh holding device such a Monstrance...

Gaudy, isn't it? What's wrong with putting it on a stick?

DeVore

Personally, its the *solid gold* cross that I love. I cannot think of a more inappropriate, gaudy and unfitting object. Everything Christ spoke out against, wrapped up in a representation of how we killed him for speaking out against it.

Christian or Athiest I just have to say.... wow.

Looking at the headline + the pic, I'd imagine that the pope is simply offended by superficial glitter, since he prefers the 18-carat stuff that's measured by the hundredweight.

I quote Prince, Robin gets into the fact of the matter.

Making fun of the Catholic Church is like Zelda with all the cheats activated, it's so easy that it stops being fun after a coupla minutes.

I disagree. It fall under the category of "never not funny."

It's all about the bling bling?

the gold was just resting on my hat...

I imagine that most of the gold has built up over the years... It's not like it goes away. Right?
They're not spending money on new gold crosses and such I would hope, I wonder how much cash they have in the bank.

Still with the price of gold at an all time high I think they could do a lot of good with the money. Aid to pay for irrigation and farming... education and so on in the devloping world... Heck I'm sure the hat could feed a lot of homeless people.

I was watching that young Jessie J one sing an acoustic version of her song price tag over Christmas.

She sang,

"It's not about ba bling, ba bling, I just wanna make the world dance, forget about your price tag".

Pop music is now more moral than the Catholic Church!

Moral up front, but actually making a crap load of cash in the background.

Pop and the Catholic Church have that in common ^^

I'm pretty sure it's ok to be gay in pop music these days so I will stand by it being more moral than the Catholic church

Been a while since I've seen a german raise their arm at that angle.

Old habits, I suppose.
