franciscanheart Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 [quote name='Ash Wednesday' date='Mar 28 2006, 05:09 PM']Whoever said a church was supposed to be a place of discomfort? They're padded seats. Not recliners or thermo-massage. [right][snapback]925694[/snapback][/right] [/quote] She speaks the truth and quite frankly, padded seats aren't all that comfortable anyway! Padded kneelers hurt just as much if not more than bare kneelers too! : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatholicCid Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Just how much are the candles o_o I've never seen anything over $5 Though, while most of the Churches are splendorous, I think I'm beginning to understand the more bare churches... Easier to find Christ. Otherwise I'd be glued to the ceilings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Wednesday Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I want to visit this church: [img]http://www.artgraphica.net/images/kostnice-ossuary-bone-church/skeleton-art-3.jpg[/img] And this one. [img]http://images.43things.com/place/00/01/d9/121255lr.jpg[/img] People think I'm a little bit sick. *shrugs* These churches are Catholic. And I think skulls are cool. One thing I love about Catholicism is its resident circles of weirdness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
