Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Default A question for our Catholic friends

On the same road that our new church is being built, a new RC church has
also been built and has been open for business for about a year.

After several months from opening day, a strange (to me anyway, and
several former Catholics I've spoken to about it) suddenly appeared in the
parking lot.

I'm referring to the tall silver & gilt pole in the two attached images which I
had Miss Kim make with her I-phone today on our way home from our
church service.

What is not evident from the pix is that it is mounted on a dark coloured
plinth, surrounded by a short rope fence. The whole thing stands about 25'
to 30' tall. A tiny little bell is suspended from the arm at the top.

I have never seen anything like this at any church...Catholic or otherwise...
anywhere I've been to in GB, Europe or North America. I can only surmise
that it is a representation of a spire or a substitute for a steeple, and that the
bell, though presumably functional, is purely symbolic.

My question is simply what is it, and what is its function?

Thanks for the link, 55...I should have thought to look the reference up myself, but didn't
really 'see' the unusual reference. At the times we pass, there are seldom any
congregants in the parking lot, although the lot does get pretty full each Sunday. I guess
their times of service are slightly off the schedule of our ours.

There are different "sects", for lack of a better term, of the Catholic Church.
