Devil's Church?

According to some people interested in the off-beat and occult, the 16th-century Saint Merri Church in the Marais is filled with strange and unusual symbols you wouldn't expect to see in a holy place. A bizarre statue of a sort of she-male greets you at the entrance, and there is a pentagram on the inside inscribed along the walls. Take a look for yourself and see if you can decode these medieval symbols.
