I think I made it clear that these choices are quite random things!
Not part of deadly-serious theology.

And 4 out of 18 voters say:

Latin songs - e.g. the Gregorian chant

 
Catholic chirches almost always have nice rose bushes out front. Not sure why but they all seem to.

One famous example: :)

The Thousand-year Rose (German: Tausendjähriger Rosenstock, literally: Thousand-years rosebush) is also known as the Rose of Hildesheim. It grows on the apse of the Hildesheim Cathedral, a Catholic cathedral in Hildesheim, Germany, that is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary. The cathedral and the adjacent St. Michael's Church have been on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites since 1985.

The rose that climbs on the wall of the cathedral's apse is believed to be the oldest living rose in the world.

Those are indeed odd trivial choices. Nothing about what the church really means to people. My choices might have been "the rock-solid" core moral teachings of the church" or the "comfort of theuniformity of the Mass around the world" or "The Church's mission to help the world's poor".

OMG.

I have explained my choices AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN!

Can you not read?

Or do you not have an ounce of humour?

Must we all be only deadly serious all the time?

Sad.

Then why don't you start a poll of your own?

Btw: Is it only the RCC that helps the poor?

I am a Catholic, but I would not be so arrogant as to maintain that only the Catholics help the poor.

@ processions, e. g. on Corpus Christi Day

So you think Corpus Christi Day is "odd and trivial"?

Are you really a Catholic?

And who said only the Catholic church helps the poor, besides nobody?

OK. I didn't know what 'simular' meant. Never seen the word before.

I'm talking about stupid stuff like "candles" and "incense". These get their own categories?

No sense in having anything approaching serious debate on a debate forum. You run away from "serious", aka "real".

What's the opposite of real? Fake...
 
"candles" and "incense" are not stupid.

Those would have been choices of respect. The post had no value, and was perhaps a denigration, other than to extraneously raise issue as it did.
 
5 voters out of 19 say: Baroque churches :)

Like this church:

The Basilica of the Fourteen Holy Helpers (German: Basilika Vierzehnheiligen) is a church located near the town of Bad Staffelstein near Bamberg, in Bavaria, southern Germany. The late Baroque-Rococo basilica, designed by Balthasar Neumann, was constructed between 1743 and 1772. It is dedicated to the Fourteen Holy Helpers, a group of saints venerated together in the Catholic Church, especially in Germany at the time of the Black Death.

My options are "superficial" on purpose.
On the lighter side.
I say this again and again.

Those who pefer deadly serious "theology" may create a poll of their own liking.
