I just noticed that the photo of the pope bowing to a statue has been removed. I didn't know that website was off-limits. It was just on Google Images (along with a thousand others when I searched "Roman Catholics bowing to a statue.")
The statement was made on the forum that Roman Catholics do not bow to statues. As this photo shows, this Roman Catholic bows to statues...

I didn't know that website was off-limits.How many other viciously anti-Catholic anti-Semitic websites do you presume are not off-limits?

The statement was made on the forum that Roman Catholics do not bow to statues I don't think anyone really contends that Catholics do not bow to statues of saints.
Are you sure you understood that poster correctly? Would you ping him, please?
To the statues of saints and other Holy Images, we don't bow enough.

re bowing to statues, even worse, he found an old black Roman one of some kind in a ditch and enthroned it as Mary of Poland or some such, true story
