One year a neighbor planted 100 tulip bulbs around his Mary statue, but only one came up in the spring – perfectly positioned to look like she was holding it.
Yeah, Carmen, if that statue has any power, why don’t you let St. _______ take care of the punks, right?You know, Gideon’s father said something about messing with someone else’s idols/statues/images….
Anyone who makes any effort at all to investigate what Catholics actually believe about statues would understand that they don’t worship or pray to them. Statues, or other forms of religious art, are intended to help create a prayerful atmosphere by raising a person’s mind to spiritual matters.
During the civil rights movements the Klan was just as likly to go after Jews and Catholics as blacks. I know b/c my youth group organizer in Mississippi had the FBI stationed across the street from her house for 4 years thanks to all the death threats.

So what were those punks about to do to Tía Carmen’s statue after having stolen it: smash it, sell it on eBay, what?

Looking at today’s strip, Tia Carmen’s run down the street gave me a flashback of lanky Olive Oil.

Don’t get between Tia Carmen’s symbols of faith! She might whack you with that heavy Madre de Dios.
