SpiritusSanctus' messages have been hidden from me for a while now.

I did not write down the entire constitution I had come up with.

Did you expect me to turn the entire topic over to the Catholic Constitutional Congress?

I expect apology forthwith.

If I posted the whole deal and explained every point, you'd be complaining that I derailed the thread.

Interesting that Nylndech ignores people who correct him for his errors.

I stll say that Nylndech should be banned. He is no Catholic.

I own so many crucifixes that I've lost count.

I found one in the trash about a year ago. It was broken, made of wood.
So I got some carpenter's glue and a spring clamp, and repaired the
damage. It now hangs on my wall over a picture of St. Francis, and
looks like it really belongs there. Imagine, it would have been 12' deep
in some landfill by now.  

I got a sterling crucifix for a rosary I'm making for my wife, and the
corpus broke off! I took it back to the jeweler, who sent it out to be
repaired. He said the factory he was sending it to has a special machine,
a laser solder machine, that costs about $60,000 so it's too expensive
for shops unless it's a manufacturer.

The place where the corpus had been defectively silver soldered before
was under the leg area, only, but this repair entailed solder under the
two hands, as well, and they did a pretty good job of keeping any material
from mooshing out behind the hands. To be honest, I think they could have
been a bit more meticulous. If this was in an assembly line, it would have
been a reject. But it's not bad.

My mother gave me a nice metal frame crucifix with ebony inlays, a
semi-precious metal corpus, and a skull and crossbones under the feet
of Our Lord. I think it was a part of a nun's habit from a hundred years
ago, but I don't know whose. I gave it to my wonderful daughter, who
expressed an interest in it. God bless her! It's nice to pass on things of
great significance to the faith to our children who are appreciative.
