"But Catholic churches are too ornate"!

I was thinking about beauty. You have, no doubt, probably heard, "Catholic churches are too ornate", or, "Why doesn't the Church sell all her art and give it to the poor"? Okay, why don't you sell everything you have of value and give it to the poor?. Of course, few people would.
There's also a sense of arrogance I feel underlies that. (I grew up poor, as my mother will attest to). It reeks of condescension, based on an out of context quote (or allusion) of a Bible verse.
Speaking of out of context verses, I want to talk about fundamentalist Protestant objections to ornate churches.  They have them, too, but, not usually for the same reason.  
"That's idolatry', they'll claim, quoting Exodus 20:4, which they will, in fact, quote correctly.
However, as always, the verse must be read in context. We'll start with Verse 3.
"Thou shalt not have strange gods before me"
"Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of anything that is in heaven above or in earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth"
"Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am the LORD thy God, mighty, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me
And shewing mercy unto thousands to them that love me, and keep my commandments". (Exodus 20:3-6)
Right now, I want to focus on "heaven above". Why? Because of what it says a few chapters later.
"Thou shalt make also two cherubims of beaten gold, on the two sides of the oracle"
"Let one cherub be on one side, and the other on the other side". (Exodus 25:18-19)
There's more to this, but, I don't want this article to be too long.
Anyway, so you may even have an atheist that says "see? The Bible contradicts itself, in the same book even". So, does it? Well, no. God does command the children of Israel to carve images of something "in heaven above", (Exodus 20:4) but, here's the thing. That's not wherein the prohibition lies. It is about CONTEXT. The prohibition isn't about images, it's about WORSHIPPING the image. (Exodus 20:5)

*All verses are from the Douay Rheims version of the Bible.

Because that's what I had with me.
