Unfortunately, the Church has disagreed for over 1300 years now. Statues are not graven images because we do not worship them.

I am sorry that you believe we worship them, but we do not.

“The Church” didn’t provide the Ten Commandments, either. And it sure is obvious they don’t follow them.

I can say with all authority (for myself) that the sky is green. That does not make it so.

Just because the Roman Catholic Church makes a proclamation about something doesn’t change the fact that it is against God’s commandments!!

there’s superstition surrounding your statues, which makes them idols. I bet you’d never toss one in the trash
