They should still be there in any Catholic Church, fourteen crosses on the walls around the perimeter of the Church. The only thing that I know that "happened" to them, is Blessed Pope John Paul II redid the classic 14 Stations with fourteen Stations from The Bible story, I suppose in a stab at ecumenism. And I have seen the Stations rewritten to be more meaningful, although I suppose that is a matter of personal taste. The school children in my parish use a "Way of the Cross" for children which I, personally find very distasteful. Also, some well-meaning liturgists have tried to add a fifteenth station for Jesus' resurrection, but this is out of place in a Lenten meditation and hardly historical. My confessor in the seminary used to say that if you couldn't say something good about someone you could always point out that they "mean well".
