BATON ROUGE -- A resolution calling for House and Senate members to support the concept of a Ten Commandments monument on Capitol grounds cleared a Senate committee without objection Wednesday and now goes before the entire Senate.

...

Holloway said that the monument would also pay tribute to the state's spirituality, a comment that drew a rebuke from Sen. Karen Carter Peterson, D-New Orleans, a Catholic.

"Don't we do that on Saturday or Sunday or some other day?" she asked of weekly religious services. "I didn't run for office to express my spirituality. When i come into this building it is not related to spirituality.

"The purpose of this buiding is to pass laws. It is not a church."
