Help, IV~~~Mexican families set up their weekend pitches???

[Mark Kohut]

Alice asked (of P?; of IV?, dunno):

Where is the Church?

Reading all the velvet picture links that Dave sent one learns this:

(but first I will say I read those picture as kitsch with heart...P loving
the love of their sentimentality and cheesiness---you?---
as well as how they turned from religious to celebrity-filled which is
a statement, ain't it?)

One learns this: it seems the roots go way back to the Orthodox strain of
Christianity, which, you will recall, was heavily a part of AtD...
The strain, historically many argue, that gets closest to JC hisself.....direct use of his language NOT JC's story as told by the Gospelists............
