Sorry @douglaswils . Too late. Catholics control the supreme court, the last president, the current VP, the leading candidates for both parties in 2028, and we are the largest church in the USA. We'd ban your processions but your boring religion doesn't do them.

In my first class at Dallas Seminary (1990) the OT Prof told us: "If you preach a sermon from the OT, you should be able to preach that same sermon at any local synagogue w/out anyone raising an eyebrow." That's only possible if you don't preach Jesus. Paul raised eyebrows
