Description

What are the laws regarding entering a non-Jewish house of worship? Is the trinity Avoda Zara? We will appreciate why the Poskim are so reluctant to find leniencies with regard to this are of Halacha. We are dealing with a cardinal sin and the Mishna mandates that we stay far away from a city that has a temple for idol worship in it. How much more so should we avoid entering such a temple!
