Absolutely right. They swallow tons of notes and commentaries, written by people who were never truly saved, and miss what Jesus taught by a mile.

Reminds me of this joke about the Vatican: Visitor being shown all the splendour and the guide said: Well, we can no longer say "Silver and gold we have none". The reply was: Neither can you say "Take up your bed and walk".

The cathedrals in the UK are nothing but tourist attractions. I stopped at one on the way home once when I was distraught about a serious problem, and asked a woman who was dressed like a verger for prayer. She looked totally aghast, said she needed to do something and would come back - never did. The pop group were practicing "Shine Jesus shine". I waited with tears rolling down my cheeks - nobody asked if I was alright, got totally ignored. Decaying sepulchres, no Spirit no life. Sat next to some theology people once - the vile language they used to criticise another was shocking. Sad.
