>>Are people expecting the statue to answer their prayers?

Some people get all excited about statues bleeding.

If a statue can bleed, then why can't it answer your prayers?

If you pray to a wafer of bread can the wafer of bread answer your prayers?

Again, you are confusing the physical with the spiritual. If an evangelist is watching TV and the preacher says pray with me, is he then praying to the TV?

Of course not.

It is just as silly to say these people are praying to a wafer. Ridiculous!

I have been told that the wafer is literally God. That it is an object of worship.

Have I been misinformed?
