And one can plainly see both in the picture I've provided earlier in this thread and in the quote from post 336 from a Catholic website that Catholics do indeed bow to statues.
I'm not even getting into the prayer issue; it's tangental to my point here, which is that your denomination violates the specifics of the Second Commandments. However, having said that, I've read many of the Catholic prayers to Mary, including the one at the end of the Rosary (see post 105), and they are worshipful, and attribute to her the things that belong to God alone.
"And one can plainly see both"
No, one can not. You are injecting what you want to see.
