Well, they claim to be absolutely infallible, so I guess if they say 
there is an entire hand missing from one of their statues, the 
faithful are onliged tobelieve it on pain of damnation forever and 
ever (Amen!)

The faithful may be disturbed to notice that their security apparatus 
is not infallible, though. What next? Will somebody make off with 
the ppopemobile?
