Before his crucifixion, the Roman soldiers mocked Jesus by dressing him a "robe of scarlet".

Actually, prior to Vatican II, it was the custom to cover all statues and paintings in the church with violet from Passion Sunday until the Vigil Mass on Easter Sunday as a symbol of penance and sorrow. No flowers or any other form of decoration was allowed during these days also. Some churches still follow the custom today.

How you can work to build unity in Australian Catholic churches?

A:The Catholic churches of Australia are already unified, and there is little dissent on matters of doctrine. The main problems facing the Church today are the emergence of evidence of widespread paedophilia and, much worse, the willingness of the hierarchy to cover up these crimes. Unfortunately, the apparent tendency of bishops and archbishops to suppress information and to protect their priests and religious is evidence of "too much" unity, when morality and integrity cry out for full and open reporting of suspected crimes to the civil authorities.

What do you do with a broken blessed Virgin Mary statue?

Well, honey, if your blessed Virgin Mary statue is broken, you can always try your hand at some arts and crafts and turn it into a quirky garden decoration or a funky mosaic piece. Or you could just toss it in the trash if you're not feeling particularly crafty. Just make sure to dispose of it respectfully, okay?
