That may be, but I doubt it. He claims to have seen "many" Catholic Churches with a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary on the altar. I have been to many, many Catholic Churches, obedient or not, and in the US, Canada, and all over Europe and I have not seen this on even one occasion during Mass or outside Mass. Thinking about it, I suspect it is more likely he has misidentified the altar.
On side altars, yes. My wife and I were married at a side altar before a statute of the BVM. At main altars, never.
I am pinging you to post #69 since it is you I am mentioning. I apologize for not doing it on the original post.

I tend to agree with you.
