Salvatore, a guy I know personally, is my friend southern (like me) and that, by Southern and will certainly have personally experienced many special mold to live their religion (especially the South). So I am happy to have written a very interesting and substantial objection to the previous post about S. Catherine. The following, because he did not succeed (by the way, if you have trouble posting comments contact me on Facebook):
- The exhibition of relics, religious or pagan, has nothing to do with the 'aesthetics: the meaning and importance of a relic is elsewhere, and I believe must be respected, whatever its nature, it would not depart from the faithful. I invite you to be better informed about the millennia of history, especially to understand that the veneration of relics is inherent in the established customs of many peoples, not an event limited to the Christian sphere.
The term "tribal" is not offensive (it is social organization in tribes or at least the culture of the tribal societies ... the point!), What enters the head-hunters with Africa? Another absurd mistake is the confusion between "veneration" and "worship, know that even children of 10 years: in no passage of Scripture there is a prohibition of worship" other gods ", if it were not so, as I explain the proliferation of Madonnas, saints, martyrs and blessed in all of Christianity no one has ever lifted a finger? different is the speech for Muslims, for which we know it is even banned any depiction of the deity.
armed forces: it is not that you bless the army as a body or as a "weapon" to destroy the infidels ... you bless the people who do that work, often life-threatening. useless to stay here to talk about international treaties or the discipline to use force, but in general not think the armed forces only as to those who make war and kill: They are also much more, just think about bodyguards or peacekeepers (which are peacekeeping).
Finally, Jesus did exist and it is a FACT historian, it is not absurd to live in this way, worship ... because no way to live .. no cult is absurd to be accepted and understood, especially those who profess to respect. I wrote a ke does not believe (and certainly has no sympathy for these vivisections cmq in general or to the faith lived in this way). ke the point is your article, despite the end of "open minds" of the faithful and not likely to put the blinders on, everything is written in too narrow a perspective, without knowing what is spoken and especially with the 'only aspiration to criticize (or mock).
ps = I had no time (or desire, especially as we live in two steps) to investigate what I meant and perhaps the way in which I wrote was not clear the target of my criticism. maybe we'll talk closely
--- This is his comment. I obviously would have to answer that, but would wait for a few days the intervention of someone else, then insert my ideas.
Best wishes, Luke
