Ah....the things we do/have done in service to greedy men, and the poverty of Jesus of Nazareth and His closest disciples be pushed aside.  All of the precious stones and metals of the gaudy Catholic medieval church should be salvaged and sold with the money used to feed and clothe the poor, shelter the homeless, and protect the victims.  If we really want to be the Church of Jesus, then we need to live and celebrate Him in simplicity.  Otherwise, we are in sin while proclaiming His life and that we emulate Him in word and deed.
