Current Affairs October 18th, 2005
Probably not, but you gotta wonder with this headline: Statue of Virgin Mary: Local Parish to Host 33 Foot Idol for 2 Weeks. Actually, it probably has to do with media ignorance of any traditional form of religion.
Hat tip: Mark Shea.
Update: The headline has been changed from "idol" to "statue."

I noticed the article now says “statue” instead of “idol.”
