“Do you have a statue of your mom?”
No, I have photographs of her. Had cameras been around in Mary’s time we’d have photos of her, too. But, since there were no cameras, Mary is depicted in the art forms that were available before the invention of film: Sculptures and paintings.
The hatred some Protestants have for Catholics is mind-boggling, and is akin to the hatred moslems have for infidels. Then again, Sunnis hate Shiites, so I guess it is not a real stretch that Protestants can hate Catholics.

Do you kneel before those photos?
Do you light candles before those photos?
Do you pray to the picture of your mom?

Tell me about it!!!
