You don't know what an idol is and persist in proclaiming idolatry in others. You're really a hoot!
Tell me...
What do you see in the center of this painting?

Fidel Castro will be received back into the communion of the Roman Catholic Church during Pope Benedict XVI’s visit to the island in March, the Italian press is reporting. If true, this is a remarkable story — and one that has yet to catch the attention of editors this side of the Atlantic.
On 1 Feb 2012, La Republicca — [Italy’s second largest circulation daily newspaper, La Republicca follows a center-left political line and is strongly anti-clerical; not anti-Catholic per se but a critic of the institutional church] — reported that as death approaches, the octogenarian communist has turned to God for solace.
ABC’s Global Note news blog is the only U.S. general interest publication I have found that has reported this story. It referenced the La Republicca story and said that Castro’s
daughter Alina is quoted as saying “During this last period, Fidel has come closer to religion: he has rediscovered Jesus at the end of his life. It doesn’t surprise me because dad was raised by Jesuits.” The article quotes an unidentified high prelate in the Vatican who is working on the Pope’s Cuba trip: “Fidel is at the end of his strength. Nearly at the end of his life. His exhortations in the party paper Granma, are increasingly less frequent. We know that in this last period he has come closer to religion and God.”
Some Italian websites have even speculated as to when Fidel will make his confession and credo — setting the date as 27 March 2012 at 17:30 when the two ottantacinquenni, Pope Benedict XVI and Castro, will meet at the Palacio de la Revolución when the pope makes his official visit to the head of state, Raul Castro.
During Pope John Paul II’s 1998 visit to Cuba, Castro attended mass, but did...........

An idol is in the eye of the idolizer

I hope the old coot’s serious. Because he’s in deep trouble if he’s not.
Ooh, ooh, I know, I know!
Amen! Jesus is the bread of life and the water of life, whosoever believes in him will never hunger or thirst or die but will have everlasting life. He said so himself!
Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem;
Creatorem caeli et terrae.
Et in Jesum Christum,
Filium eius unicum, Dominum nostrum;
qui conceptus est
de Spiritu Sancto,
natus ex Maria virgine;
passus sub Pontio Pilato,
crucifixus, mortuus, et sepultus;
descendit ad inferos;
tertia die resurrexit a mortuis;
ascendit ad caelos;
sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis;
inde venturus est
iudicare vivos et mortuos.
Credo in Spiritum Sanctum;
sanctam ecclesiam catholicam;
sanctorum communionem;
remissionem peccatorum;
carnis resurrectionem;
vitam aeternam. Amen.
In English:
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived
by the power of the Holy Spirit,
and born of the Virgin Mary,
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended into hell.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
he will come again
to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen
Do you think these earthly representations of biblical events/people will survive the coming judgement?
I see a bunch of guys sitting at a table. NOW, you tell me what you see.
Do you think you can post that in Spanish for Fidel? He’s the one that sounds like he needs it.
Metmom, yes, for the record, the wedding at Cana. This illustrates the relationship between Jesus and His mother, and He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
No, they’ve barely made it this long. I’d love to see some of them though. The religious art of the Renaissance is on my bucket list, includes some cathedrals, the underground salt sculptures in Poland, and, though I’ll likely never make it, St. Catherine’s Monastery in Egypt.
Have you been fortunate enough to see any classic masterpieces of religious art?
Good grief can you and narses ever stop picking for a fight and just let things slide..pick pick pick...and then some more relentlessly. Why not just give it up and address the issue of Castros spirituality instead of going after posters. My gosh it gets worse than old with cereal box’s etc. same.o..crap next we’ll see tea kettles and the like. At least come in with something new...sheesh!
The “Last Supper” and you see a bunch of guys sitting at a table?
Ok, who is depicted at the center of the table?
Creo en Dios, Padre todopoderoso, creador del Cielo y de la Tierra.
Creo en Jesucristo su único Hijo, Nuestro Señor,
que fue concebido por obra y gracia del Espíritu Santo;
nació de Santa María Virgen;
padeció bajo el poder de Poncio Pilato;
fue crucificado, muerto y sepultado;
descendió a los infiernos;
al tercer día resucitó de entre los muertos;
subió a los cielos y está a la diestra de Dios Padre;
desde allí ha de venir a juzgar a los vivos y a los muertos.
Creo en el Espíritu Santo, en la Santa Iglesia Católica,
la comumión de los Santos en el perdon de los pecados
la resurrección de los muertos y la vida eterna.
Amén.
“I see a bunch of guys sitting at a table.”
And that means IDOLATRY?
Some guy with long hair.
Can I await your corrected admonishment addressed to the proper pickers?
