So when thousands and thousands of people flock to a church because of the ‘personalities’ representing Jesus... that’s okay.

But if people use a statue to remind them of Jesus when they pray... that’s not okay?

I think you are confused. Catholics are not praying TO the statue. I’m sure it looks like it to a cynic, but that’s not what they are doing.

Not that it matters, but I’m not Catholic.
