re: #432 goddamnedfrank

I don’t think he was commenting on the religion. He was raised Catholic and has never spoken out against the Church as far as I can tell. I think he was creating a thing for people to react to, and they did. If I’m pressed to search for intent, I think he’s saying that the jar of urine is no more of degradation per se than the mass production of cheap disposable crucifixes out of molded plastic.

He seems to consider himself a Christian, but it’s the Catholic Church he has issues with. Two quotes:

As a former Catholic, and as someone who even today is not opposed to being called a Christian, I felt I had every right to use the symbols of the Church and resented being told not to.

I am drawn to Christ but I have real problems with the Catholic Church.
