>>Near where I live, there is a statute of Mary in a grassy field. From time to time people kneel before that statute and pray. Afterward they put money in a box surrounded with wire mesh<<

uhhhhh... do you have a point there? Or are you using the same kind of logic we've seen time and time again:

Catholics are doing something we don't do.
Catholics are eeeeeeeeeeevvvillll.
Hmmm... what's the most evil explanation I can possibly find to explain what they're doing?

Trust me, no-one is expecting that the statue is going to come to life and carry the money off to Mt. Gezar. The money is most likely an offering for the poor.

My point is that their actions are indistinguishable from idol worship to me. Maybe you're right; Catholics are just doing something I don't do. I worship God and His Son Jesus Christ and nothing else, according to the Commandments.
