Do Catholics kneel before a crucifix? Do Catholics kneel before the tabernacle?
Was the question “worship”?
You ask many questions.
And many of them are repeats....ones that have been asked too many times to count.
And many of them you have already answered yourself... “from my (your) perspective” (post #9645)
There doesn’t seem to be much point in asking questions that you have already frequently answered yourself “from your perspective”.
Which causes me to wonder why many questions are asked and then answered by the inquisitor—to the satisfaction of that inquisitor.
So, I don’t see any purpose in the repetitive questioning.
Consequently, I can’t see any point in Catholics answering them as they would have a different “perspective” anyway and so nothing really changes.
Catholics here are not likely to change their perspective about things Catholic.
“In accordance with these principles it will readily be understood that a certain worship may be offered even to inanimate objects, such as the relics of a martyr, the Cross of Christ, the Crown of Thorns, or even the statue or picture of a saint. There is here no confusion or danger of idolatry, for this worship is subordinate or dependent.”
Aaron and the Israelites had much the same excuse for the golden calf.
