I'm reminded of a story - when my mam & dad were on their honeymoon touring Europe, they were in one of the roman or florentine churches admiring Michelangelo's Pieta. Or rather, trying to admire, because a huge train of American tourists on a guided tour were blocking the view, pushing people out of the way. My parents were trying to get an odd look in when one of the Americans went "ugh! Are YOU part of the tour?"
Well, my father blew it, and just laid into them, attacking them on how self-centered those American tourists were.
In a catholic church, no less.
I find it amusing when he tells the story...
