Frank Lloyd Wright was in a class by himself (but you can see the connection with Art Deco in the lines and repetition in his textile homes). The Ennis house in LA is a masterpiece.

Put it all in growth/tech. SMH ETF is good one. If you had put $10k in it 10 years ago you'd have $180k today.

Yeah, and priests forgive your sins.

1. Authority Structure: Critics argue that the Pope is treated as an infallible, unquestionable leader, similar to a cult leader.
2. "Works-Based" Salvation: Some argue that Catholic teachings on salvation (faith plus works/sacraments) contradict the biblical doctrine of salvation by grace alone, making it a "false religion" or "heretical".
3. Veneration of Mary and Saints: Practices like praying to Mary and the saints are seen by some as idolatry or a "cult" of worship separate from Christ.
4. Traditional Authority vs. Scripture: The view that the Church puts its own traditions and magisterium on par with, or above, the Bible is cited as a cult-like characteristic.
5. Specific Sub-Groups: Some note that while the Church as a whole is not a cult, certain, more insular movements within it, such as Opus Dei, can display cult-like behaviors.
