Thank You Patrick. I didn’t know many Protestants growing. Later in life I was criticized for simply making the sign of the Cross in front of a few Baptists. They took offense saying similar to what you brought out in this article. I also became aware of their displeasure of our Blessed Mother Mary believing it to be worship of Idolatry. As well as the The Real Presence in The Eucharist. I guess they needed reasons not to believe in the only True Religion.
I wonder what some might say when they realise that prior to crucifix primacy in the Church it was actually Christ’s death (in artworks) being venerated in churches up until the late scholastic period.

The crucifix is there to remind me that I need to die to myself in order to give God glory.
Thank you!
