How out of touch can they be?? I'm glad the Catholics can come to their senses on at least one issue... I suspect they are responding more to the choice of wording 'secular' being associated to any form of the cross than the fact that gov't chose a cross for public display.

If all they want is to acknowledge the death of a cop then put a two foot tombstone there instead. Better yet put the tombstone in a cemetery. These crosses are twelve feet tall!?
