Sorry, Mrs. Don-o. There is absolutely no parallel between what these statures represent and how Catholics view these images of Mary.

If anyone did to a public statue of an historic figure, or a nativity scene what Catholics do to statues of Mary on a regular basis, I would condemn these acts just as vigorously.

and tell me if you think gestures like kneeling and prostration always indicate idolatry -- from a Biblical point of view.
