Yep, they still don't get it. Baptist Church tosses sculpture of Jesus for being too "Catholic"

So this kind of proves my point: to be something other than the one true Church; the fullness of truth, the others faith must go out of it's way to either denounce Catholicism or try and prove it to be something other than the true Bride of Christ.  Here is a huge clue:  if your church did not exist in the patristic period, in the early centuries, hell, all the way until the late 1600's thru the early 1900's and if your church apparatus does not exist in every land, nation, time zone; come on!  Yes, this church is probably right; it is too Catholic because the visible Church on earth as part of the divine plan; God's holy will is to be Catholic.

I'm sure there are plenty of takers for the statue.

The sculptor says his statue of Jesus Christ is being removed from the church after more than a decade, because some perceive it as “too Catholic” for the Baptist place of worship.

LEXINGTON, South Carolina - A South Carolina church’s congregation has voted to remove a statue of Jesus Christ because some believe it’s too “Catholic” for their Baptist place of worship.
The State newspaper http://www.thestate.com cites a letter sent by Red Bank Baptist Church leadership to Bert Baker Jr., a former member of the congregation who hand-carved the 7-foot (2-meter) statue and accompanying reliefs showing scenes from the life of Christ.
The art has been displayed in the church for a decade, but the pastor told the artist it’s being taken down this week. The letter says some in the congregation believe the image of Christ standing with his arms outstretched is “Catholic in nature.”
The artist responded that the pastor’s letter displays religious prejudice and insults the community’s intelligence.
