What your ugly little anti-Catholic screed neglects to mention is that a whole lot of those mainline Protestant denominations -- while they don't have "graven images" or "plastic beads" to "fondle" -- quite openly endorse the brutal, cold-blooded murder of unborn children -- even to the degree of paying for it in their clergy medical insurance plans! (See the Presbyterian Church of the USA for an example of the latter.) Not to mention that a number of them also openly celebrate sodomy.

That puts a stench in God's nostrils that no "plastic beads" or "graven images" can ever hope to equal.

I have a hard core protestant friend who is very strict about idolatry. One day I was talking to her about a crossroad decision she was having trouble with. Her solution when she has issues is to pray, then hold what she called a prayer fleece outside overnight. If it was wet she would make one decision, if dry the other. I found it amazing she didn’t see the hypocrisy in it, as there are no Catholic traditions that come close to that sort of REAL idolatry.
