The latter just comes off as horribly pretentious.

The current Church policy is as I stated above. You're right that we don't have a choice about people linking to us.

Generally, these sites mention that those Church images belong to the Church and in one case that they are used with permission. Are there cases where an individual site can request permission to use those images? Or are there exceptions where images can be used in a non-profit setting?
