Right on, fwdude!
'Course here in my town, we have an Asbury Methodist Church, named for Francis Asbury, an 18th century frontier missionary bishop who is worshipped by Methodists.

Complete with idol erected for the Methodists' public adoration.
Oh! And! You'll never guess what I saw at the Baptist church last Christmas:

Not only do they worship statues ---
their statues worship statues!

Sorry, Mrs. Don-o. There is absolutely no parallel between what these statures represent and how Catholics view these images of Mary.
If anyone did to a public statue of an historic figure, or a nativity scene what Catholics do to statues of Mary on a regular basis, I would condemn these acts just as vigorously.

I suppose you have pictures or documentation of people bowing down before the statue of Francis Asbury? I didnt notice any kneeling benches in that photo. Im sure they cropped them off right? And was there anyone praying in front of that statue?
Same for the manger scene. I see no kneeling bench or people praying in front of it. Surely you have the evidence of that correct? We would love to see the evidence.

When you can find some pictures of people bowing down to that statue, lighting candles to it, and praying to it, get back to me.
