You are to kiss these statues and bow before them and pray to them, but it is not 'real' worship...
Well of course it's real worship...That's how you worship...
They teach you to worship these idols and then tell you it's not really worship...
Clearly there's no difference between the way you guys worship these idols and the way you worship God...Apparently even tho the procedure is identical the difference is that the one is made of cement so you can't call that worship...
And it just as bad with the supposed Saints and Mary...There is no difference in the way you worship the idols, the Saints and God...But because the others are not God, you call the exact same procedure veneration...
We do not pray to images. We pray to God, and we also ask the Saints for their prayers.
