“And since Catholics are all concerned about breaking the Ten Commandments, what about the not bowing down to graven images? They sure don’t have any problem disobeying THAT commandment.”

No Catholic disobeys that Commandment.

Growing up Protestant, I’ve seen plenty of pictures of Jesus in homes. Also plenty of Nativity sets.

Standing in front of, bowing, or kneeling in front of objects is not a form of worship. And praying in front of a statue, does not mean you are praying TO the statue.

That is rather silly.

Don’t read what you think it says....The command is not to not worship.

Read what it says.... The command is to not bow or serve.
