and prays to a statue????

Catholics don't pray to statues and are prohibited from doing so by Church teaching.

343 It is not allowed to pray to the crucifix and the images and the relics of the saints, for they have no life, nor power to help us, nor sense to hear us.

Okay, fair enough. Then why have them? Also, why do I see people doing that if its prohibited???

Titanites, it is quite obvious that you HAVE NOT read the last several hundred posts, otherwise you would understand that Catholics DO NOT understand what the Church is actually teaching.

For instance, it is entirely possible that the phrase "not allowed" REALLY means "go ahead and do it anyway."
