What are you yammering about?

Catholics do not "revere" much less "worship" graven images.

There is no invocation, nothing in doctrine or dogma, prohibiting the artistic depiction of sacred images.

I think you're confusing Roman Catholicism with Islam.

Many Catholics bow to images of Mary and revere what the image of Mary represents.

The New Testament condemns this behavior, and the Early Church Fathers considered this to be paying homage to accursed spirits and demons.
