So you believe it’s wrong to have a statue in honour of Christ?
Thank you. Finally, someone comes out and says this.
The problem for you, is that the Church already settled this matter, in the 7th Century. Icons are permissible.

It's not a problem for believers because HIS Church based on HIS WORD settled the issue from the beginning of time - no worship of idols, no graven images. HIS WORD always was and always will be.
The RCC can do what they want and they have - HEAR and OBEY His Word means nothing to them - they have a man made belief system.

No, the problem is as long as catholics oppose Gods clear warnings not to use these, nor bow to them, nor worship before them...they will miss the blessings God intended otherwise and mourn that loss on that day. I stress that practicing worship behavior before an idol or icon does more harm to the soul of an individual than they can possibly understand, let alone realize. But then pagans wouldn't identify sin for what it is.....neither Christians when they have 'seared' thier minds and hearts from the promptings of the Holy Spirit not to do this.
