You are mistaken. This was not an anti-Catholic removal of normal statues found in a church. It was a removal of pagan fertility goddess icons that were recently added.

.........................

They are all our wonderful statues, used in only veneration, passed down from our head Peter.

As such, they are part of sacred tradition for us Catholics.

I think we even have a fertility goddess saint we can pray directly to.

Exodus 20:4-6 Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the 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.

“I think we even have a fertility goddess saint we can pray directly to.”

And those are found in the Bible where exactly?
