It looks about the same.

So what?

Then how can you say catholics aren't worshipping relics of dead bodies and body parts, statues of saints etc.... when their behavior/actions are identical to how you say you worship God????

There is no Scriptural proof for this false doctrine in either Testament....Jesus certainly didn't do this and in fact would denounce this behavior toward relics and idols...and did...

Here you have catholic priests singing hymns in front of a corpse

Do you have the text of what the young men are singing?

Want to make a bet that they are NOT singing a text that praises Jesus Christ?

Men genuflect before the Queen of England. Are they idolaters?

Oh, no, you might say. In that CONTEXT it is understood that bending the knee is not an act of adoration.

Just so.

Adoration does not consist in kneeling, bowing, etc. Adoration is an act of the INTELLECT and the WILL. I can commit idolatry while driving down the freeway or mowing the lawn. I can also offer God adoration while driving down the freeway or mowing the lawn.

Photographs show gestures or postures. The intellect and the will do not show up in photographs.
