?? Was I not told ON this thread, that a small little child sat at the feet of a large wooden crucifix and had her heart full of pity, because the crucifix reminded her that there is a place for sorrow and sadness over the death of Jesus.

THAT is worship.

YOU stop spreading falsehood that it is something else.

I was that child, Truth2012, and my point, sure enough, is that it is worship, but (I will type this real slowly so you will hear every word) ---it is...

Worship.
Of.
The.
Lord.
Jesus.
Christ.

Worship of the Lord Jesus Christ. Not worship of the crucifix.

Even as a child, I would not have been such a fool as to think that the wood was suffering, or that a carved figure died for me, or that a large art object was the Creator and Redeemer of the World, the Lord and Giver of Life, worthy of my adoration.

Since you have more than once either misquoted me, or quoted me in a sense exactly opposite to the one I was expressing. I now forbid you to refer to me even by paraphrase without a courtesy ping (which you failed to do in this instance) or to quote me hereafter without my explicit permission.

Please observe this courtesy.

Thank you.

Lets substitute a couple of words to make an analogy, and if you are intellectually honest you will see the errors of your understanding of practices of worship:

Further When a Catholic tells you that they don't engage in idol worship then that is the end of the debate. Catholics know what worship is.
