Can’t say I’ve ever seen a Bible up on a pedestal, with candles lit in front of it, where people bow or pray to it.

If you don’t regard God’s own words as holy, you cannot regard God as holy.

I consider it Holy. I don't worship it.

I consider Mary holy. I don't worship her.

But hey, here is someone who left flowers for her book

Here is a picture of a Big ole Book right in the front of a church

Here's someone lovingly touching his book

It all looks like a duck to me.

where people bow or pray to it.

Well here's the teachable moment then.

Catholics neither bow nor pray TO a statue or a crucifix, icon, station of the cross or any other image.

We pray BEFORE statues and crucifixes. The image is merely a reminder, a focal point. No one believes these images are God.
