You've been watching too much telly. Anyway you're probably right. Didn't Jesus have to turn a bazaar out of the temple? And judging by the amount of vaguely relevant stuff they sell in most cathedrals these days it's about the same.
By the way, I'm enjoying your nice weblog so far:) Nice to see you visited so many sites in such a short time - not just something you confine to Ireland then!
