A hollow victory; you can have it. References to saints in scripture are fine. The saints were Catholic saints; and virgins AND martyrs. Peter and Paul were Catholic saints/martyred IN ROME. Each with a basilica raised above his tomb, in Rome. How many do you count over in your revival tent? Not a single one. What you count in sects like yours are David Koresh, Rev Jim Jones, Jim Swaggart, Reverend Ike and the nausea-inducing Joel Osteen. They are saints in your community. How do you canonize those mudhens?

The Malicious Mangling of the Virgin Mary

A Christian can be crushed gazing at the picture of Mary standing at the foot of the cross, watching her beloved son suffocate and die. But in that vision, she stands there for hours, patiently enduring her suffering. For two millennia, she has been a role model for Christians, a woman who practiced obedience in the most difficult of human circumstances, with fervent hope for what this sacrifice will offer all mankind as it struggles with sin.

This is why it seems so hard to reflect that vision of patience when black-hearted "artists" practice character assassination on the Blessed Virgin...
