You don’t have to accept anything. I just find this fear and revulsion of decorated dead bodies, skeletons, death, etc. exhibited on this thread, childish.
And sadly, I have met born-agains on Free Republic who have told me that they’ve never visited a Catholic Church while touring Europe. And they were not talking about ancient corpses; they were talking about the Sistine Chapel!
It is interesting to see how your posts on this thread quickly went to such harsh and personal labelings against individuals as not well traveled, as fearful, as furious, as never cracking an art book.
Perhaps you can bring new vigor to this form of shrine creation since it appeals to you so much, and brings out these kind of attacks from you.
