If they’re just wood then why are we talking about someone taking them? It can’t be because of the act of taking them, since people have things of far greater value taken at Vatican yet we’re not talking about that. So we know its not the act of taking that is the issue.They’re just wood if I don’t worship them
We need to ask Mother Nature why she keeps “vandalizing” tree branches by letting them fall into rivers and lakes.Throwing wood into water damages wood. They were therefore damaged. I’m finished explaining this to you.
Correct. (10 characters)Pope Francis himself confirmed they represent Pachamama. Therefore, it can be justly removed from a Catholic Church.
Agree with you 200%.They should have been burned
Yes, you explained that water can damage wood.Throwing wood into water damages wood. They were therefore damaged. I’m finished explaining this to you.
ThisIdols are just wood and stone. Doesn’t make them not idols. It makes them idols you don’t worship.
They should have been burned
Agree with you 200%.
If it were up to me, they would have gone into a wood chipper instead of a river.I second your motion.
Funny. Everyone from Muslims to Baptists say that about our Catholic statues. Are they just “idols we don’t worship?”Idols are just wood and stone. Doesn’t make them not idols. It makes them idols you don’t worship.

Because some misguided individuals chose to take them.If they’re just wood then why are we talking about someone taking them?
Mother Nature didn’t steal the statues and throw them into the river. People did.We need to ask Mother Nature why she keeps “vandalizing” tree branches by letting them fall into rivers and lakes.
Friend, water damages wood. Inevitable scientific processes don’t require “documentation.”Yes, you explained that water can damage wood.
You have not documented actual damage to the statues.
Without that, your accusation of vandalism is false.
Why should I care what pagans and heretics think?Funny. Everyone from Muslims to Baptists say that about our Catholic statues. Are they just “idols we don’t worship?”
You would if you’re trying to appease them.Why should I care what pagans and heretics think?
I don’t get how going public is genuine.I think you raised the point, that for them to do this, yet remain hidden, would not be very genuine. If you are going to do such a thing, then the right thing to do is give an account for your actions.
First of all, I would like to read exactly how C.S. Lewis supposedly explained this.C. S. Lewis disagreed with Christians who denounced ancient Paganism. He found the pre-Christian myths and practices to contain elements of truth as well as error.
Submitting to the world’s designs is usually not a good thing and the shame would only last for a moment until other issues come up and take the spotlight.Because the public wanted to know. And hiding would be shameful.
