“Except this is not Christian.”

Christian statue of Mary, paid for by Christians, made by Christians, in a shrine designed by Christians to be used by Christians.

Yep, it’s Christian.

“It is idolatry....plain and simple.”

No one is worshiping the statue. Therefore, it is NOT idolatry. Repeatedly saying it is idolatry, even though no one will worship the statue, is, however, slander and calumny.

Repent.

More correctly....a Roman Catholic statue of Mary, paid for by Roman Cahtolics, made by Roman Catholics, in a shrine [you honestly can't make this up] designed by Roman Catholics to be used by Roman Catholics.

Scripture does not change.....however, Roman Catholicism has, does and will change.

Perhaps you wear the Scapular....or Miraculous Medal?

Do you believe all of the promises of the apparition claiming to be Mary?

Repeatedly denying it is worship is spreading a false doctrine and is encouraging others to engage in idolatry.
