<<<The statues of Mary and Joseph to right and left of the Church disturbed me until the reality that Jesus was indeed born to a human family and these statues were mere reminders. >>>

I think that is a cop out. Those Idols are there because the church has been blinded. You won't find those idols only in the Catholic Church either. You will find them in the people's homes and in times of need you will find them clutching to them as if they hold the answer. The Catholic church portrays Christ upon a cross with a head bent down in defeat, but the scriptures show a Christ who, with his head towards heaven cried with a loud voice, "Father into thy hands I commit my spirit!" Even the Roman centurion was impressed!

I don't believe that all catholics are lost so please don't jump to conclusions. I've admired some of the best Christian writers who have had had their upbringings in the Catholic church (Fenelon, Guyon). On the other hand it is was the Catholic Church which started the inquisitions and murdered so many Christians who would not bow the knee to a devilish Pope.
