Catholic Guilt

Inspired by the fact that the workman who is currently painting the outside of my parent's house has presented them with some rather unique religious art (those pictures that change as you tilt them - if anyone knows what the technical term is please enlighten me) of the Blessed Virgin Mary appearing and startling a fisherman and a zoom-in of Jesus at the last supper* I've been having a look at religious tat, well more specifically it seems Catholic tat. And this is something that seems to be unique to the Papists - other flavours of Christianity don't produce this sort of thing and I can't imagine - for hypothetical example - an eight arms of Kali action figure or soap which reveals a passage from the Koran as you wash and if someone did try to create such things I think the leaders of the respective religions would be just a little bit on the cross side and have them banned.
But for some reason the Catholic God smiles on the creators of such items as The Jesus playing baseball with children Statue (the word paedophile springs to mind when you see the statue) , The Biblical Action Figures Collection (Moses appears to be surrendering and Adam has severe anaemia) and last but by no means least The St Francis of Assisi Bird Feeder
