"What makes a false icon a false icon?"
A soccer ball and a soccer field, in this particular case.

Is it any wonder that Orthodox Christians are not taken seriously by anyone? Actually, if you read carefully, the Orthodox are not behind this. It was blessed by a Greek Catholic Bishop. Fr David Straut

My apologies for any break in the flow of postings, as I merged the two threads on the subject (one from Icons, the other from Town Hall) into one.

What the writer of this "icon" lacked in canonicity, he/she made up for in creativity.

Apologies for digressing from the topic, but someone (Rybak, I believe) made a point earlier regarding Monastery Icons. Can he or anyone provide a link to the webpage at St George's Cathedral in Australia on which the MI ad/link appears.
It may be the head cold that has sidelined me for a week, but I can't find it. (Or was it called to the attention of the site's webmaster and removed? Which would be a great thing.)

I am afraid its more about "anyway to make a buck" than it is about piety.

This preposterous cartoon is enough to turn an iconodule into an iconoclast.
Spasi nas, Hospody.
