And how is looking at statues synonymous with looking at "God"? You must mean gods? Have you ever heard of idolatry?
It's always nice to have non-Catholics join our discussions. We are not afraid to discuss the Church's problems before them. But we are in a battle here for the real Church, and really can't afford to scatter our efforts in chasing red herrings from protestants who come on these discussions and immediately begin to trot out the same tired old canards.
You know as well as I do that Catholics do not worship statues. The statues are there because there were no photographs of the individuals represented. If you have photos in your wallet of your loved ones, you are doing the same thing as Catholics do when they place statues in their churches: We are adding images of those we love and whom we ask to join their prayers to ours. Do you carry a picture of your wife? Do you ask her to pray with or for you? Same difference.
Now. Back to the topic at hand: A spurious committee chosen by cowardly bishops. If you want to talk about that, feel free to join in. Otherwise...
