    The quickest way to make something a hit is to ban it. How many people would have seen it if the Pope wouldn't have called attention to it?:biggrin_2554:

    Historically Catholics created the use of the crucifix for worship a couple hundred years after Jesus death
    So the pope being upset really means nothing
    But you made a good point
    I think the whole situation is a little funny

    I sure wouldn't have known about that sculpture had it not been for this. If I am not mistaken, that was used regularly by the Romans as a form of punishment.

    I don't believe in any organized religion, so the opinion of the Pope doesn't mean much to me. I do believe in a higher being, but there have been too many atrocities committed in the name of religion over the centuries for me to take any of them seriously.

    Historically the romans used a large stake
    Its interesting but until the king James translation the cross was not part of the bible
