I'm not an adherent of the Church of Rome myself but I can well understand why those who are, and those English who are not, but are sympathisers (often known as 'Anglo-Catholic'), would argue that wearing a crucifix is a central part of their religious expression. |
Ah but roadwolf said the catholic period in England was "rubbish".
As I've said many times before, I'll support someone's right to practice their religion as long as it's within the law and doesn't harm anyone. My objection has always been with the deception that often comes with the public portrayal of relgions. But you know that already so we don't need to go over it any further.
