The Church (the Catholic Church) doesn't pray to any images

lol. A few months ago there was a thread where several (honest) Roman Catholics stated that of course they prayed to Mary and to saints.

Your church's prayers to Mary and to saints have been posted on the forum hundreds of times. Particularly the ones that ask Mary to help the supplicant in some way, to bless them and yes, even to forgive them.

Blasphemy.

"Blasphemy"

It would be blasphemy to worship graven images, it is not blasphemy to venerate and offer intercessory prayers to the individuals represented by the images. There is, after all a major difference between worship and prayer.
