Catholics seem to take great care in explaining that the idols they worship are not gods, but the Saints, etc.
No matter what you call the entity that represents the subject, yet is the worship of idols.

Catholics pray before statues or images, but do not pray to statues or images, pray to God.
I do not know enough about the Hindu religion to say whether or not they pray to their images.
I think they are wrong in their beliefs, believing in more than one God.

They believe that the worship of idols to worship an idol that is not theirs. Somehow, my badly drawn (pulled it out myself) image of Aphrodite, is an idol, but his 7-foot statue of a bleeding Jew being tortured to death is not. A little hypocritical, do you think?
Saythey Many of these comments are not worshiping the statue, who worship the deity respresents, which is the same for all religions that use any form of idol. A little hypocritical, ya think?

Catholics do not participate in Hinduism.
Oh, you mean that Catholics worship false idols? (because the Bible says "false idols") relevant to consider Jesus, Mary and the Apostles false.
~ You say: "You idiot." Does this mean I'm an idiot? or I'm an idiot? If you are really saying I'm an idiot, so I would not disagree with you there. But definitely do not have any idiots.

Why is God acting talent?
Why have photos at home?
when you kneel in prayer beside his bed - Do you love your mattress?
when you pray next to a loved one who is sick or dying - Are you worshiping them?
requesting an answer and reject what we say …. The statues are there for someone's talent. they are there to remind us that - humans can only devote his life fully to God's plan.
Catholics are wise enough and mature enough to be able to understand - the statues mean nothing, only beautiful things that remind us that we too can be like Christ in all our actions, thought and action.

I think said it best "In my eyes." In other words, how you see things, rather than how things are.
