Yes. Why do protestants never have Christ nailed to the cross? Don't they believe that he was crucified?
I'll just quickly add that a crucifix is an artist's depiction of Jesus Christ on the cross, and is still contemplated and cherished, just like the Bible still contains verbal depictions of Jesus Christ on the cross (see Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 23, John 19), and those verbal depictions have not been removed from the Bible either, and are still there today for us to read, contemplate, and cherish.
(The crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ is also still pointed to in many of the other books in the New Testament as well besides the Gospels - just do a New Testament search at BibleHub or BibleGateway for "crucified", "crucify", "cross", "died", etc.)
Thank you for an excellent question. Catholics emphasize both the crucifixion and the resurrection, not minimizing or downplaying the importance of either. In our manger scenes, stained glass windows, and statues, we also depict the Lord as a baby in the manger, as a toddler in his mother’s arms, and as a young man teaching the rabbis in the Temple. Each of these stages of the Lord’s life are worthy of depiction. But the focal point and purpose of Christ’s Incarnation and ministry is his death on the cross. As he himself said, “For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth” (Jn 18:37).
Catholics use crucifixes to avoid what St. Paul warned about, that the cross be "emptied of its power" (1 Cor 1:17). Christ's supreme act was to die on the cross as atonement for our sins. His resurrection was proof that what he did on the cross worked -- he conquered death -- and it demonstrated beyond any doubt that he was who he claimed to be: God. The crucifixion was the act that changed history. The resurrection demonstrated the efficacy of that act.
St. Paul emphasized the crucifixion saying, "When I came to you, brethren, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God in lofty words or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified" (1 Cor 2:1-2). Recall the scene of the crucifixion Some in the crowd that was present at Calvary shouted at Christ as he was dying: "Come down off your cross!" (cf. Mt 27:40; Mk 15:30).
We Catholics strive to emulate St. Paul's [words] to "know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified" (1 Cor 2:2; cf. 1 Cor 1:17-18).
