The profile pic is smaller than of postage stamp and even smaller on a smart phone. No one could read the prayer. You might want to read the thread on copy and paste prayers. You might think that people of faith would appreciate a prayer in any form. Not true, so…
Depends on the size of your screen I have seen written things for profile pics. And yes I guess that cat can has a cheezburger…As for the prayer that is precisely why I asked a previous poster their prayer.
I think it’s more the IRL equivalent of wearing a lapel pin of the American flag to a grocery store after 9/11, or perhaps of a priest wearing the Precious Feet pin on his sports jacket while out and about. (It would, of course, be nice to be able to assume that all priests are pro-life and supportive of the pro-life movement, but we know that’s not the case, which is, I suspect, part of the reason that some priests wear it.)
Yes, of course they could, but considering the fact that MOST of the Facebook friends I have aren’t Catholic, I appreciate the action they did do and I don’t think it’s anyone’s business to question their motives, just as I wouldn’t question the motives of the guy down the road with an American flag or a “We Support Our Troops” yard sign.
On a profile pic or what?
We’re American flags popular in France after 911 I may have missed the market for lapel pins there… I did see several countries using our flag to communicate a message but it was not really helpful to the victims or the war on terror. Oh well C’est la vie.
It was rather popular in the area I lived in at the time (the Midwest). It seemed like everyone, from the homeschooling moms at church to the staff at the local hospital, wore some variation of them for the next year or so. Of course, that could have been a regional thing. It became partly a symbol of support, and partly, yes, the “cool” thing to do. A fair number of women would get more decorative ones–sparkly, or made entirely from beads, that sort of thing. The local politician-types also were wearing a sort of standard lapel flag button for some time. Still, that they meant well (well, perhaps the politicians asideWe’re American flags popular in France after 911 I may have missed the market for lapel pins there… I did see several countries using our flag to communicate a message but it was not really helpful to the victims or the war on terror.

That’s French you know, like my fries.
) I have no doubt. Like the use of the US flag by other countries’ citizens after 9/11, it was a way of saying “I care.” How much they cared, of course, inevitable varied from person to person.I saw a profile once on a news program about the guy who sold the lapel pins and his fortune. Hypocrite disclosure. I had several. You know, before I was ashamed of our country…It was rather popular in the area I lived in at the time (the Midwest).

I’d say that part underlined is an “in your opinion” kind of statement, wouldn’t you think?We’re American flags popular in France after 911 I may have missed the market for lapel pins there… I did see several countries using our flag to communicate a message but it was not really helpful to the victims or the war on terror.

If only vanny had a flag…
I’m with you on this Vanny.
. And you could shame others into using it!Weird comment. Are lapel pins super popular in France?
how do you know?

Oh well C’est la vie.
I’m rather sad to see you spending so much time on this and so willing to mock the intentions of your brothers and sisters in Christ.
Settle down now.If only vanny had a flag…
I’m not so much mocking the intention but the futility. I believe almost all the people have good intentions. I also believe most of the gay marriage flags were good intentioned too, just ignorant or misinformed.
I know I don’t want to get too riled up. If I crossed the line I apologize . Low hanging fruit is so tempting but perhaps I should dial it back…Settle down now.
Don’t worry about it. No harm done.
Hoosier Daddy, I really do respect you and your opinions and most of the time you are spot on in them…however, I do just have to poke fun and point out the futility of trying to pass your opinion off as the gospel truth (as we say in the South)
