Catholics and all authentic Christians bow to statues of saints. Not to statues in general. That is because we believe in Redeeming God Who alone put His saints in Heaven and praise Him. Those who don’t, practice the lying art of accusations instead of getting themselves a true religion, or at least a plausible one.

So that's what you say...So let's compare what you say to what the God of my salvation says:

Exo 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Exo 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God,

And you say we should all come and join your religion??? Why would any person in his right mind want to do that after learning that God has condemned those people that do the things you do???

Isn't it awesome that so many heroes suffered and died for our freedom of religion? So many of ALL faiths, and some of no faith, answered the call, sacrificed and died so we could sit here on our chairs and argue like this without being put in jail or killed?

PS, I don't feel condemned....

The Church freed you from this judaizing heresy at its first council, in Jerusalem, in the 1c. AD, when the ideas about mandatory circumcision and abstinence form pork were discarded. See Acts 15.
