No special class of persons is set apart for their performance. No special places are set apart for the performance. Desired objects are attained not by propitiating the favor of divine through sacrifice prayer and praise, but by ceremonies of resemblance between rite and effect.

I have to admit feeling ambivalent about the reaction to Trump's verbal diarrhea toward the Pope, and his Jesus picture. On the one hand, they are both abhorrent and offensive. On the other hand, are Christians only relevant in needing to be propitiated after some offense?
