Did you hear the one about how Catholics "worship" statues? 




When I arrived one evening at a suburban Chicago parish to conduct an apologetics seminar, I noticed a life-sized statue of Our Lady of Fatima on the rectory lawn. Kneeling before that statue were three smaller statues of Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta – the children to whom Our Lady appeared. Their statues were kneeling in prayer, heads bowed before the larger statue.

Turning to my colleague in the car, I joked, “What a great religion Catholicism is. Not only can we worship statues, but our statues can worship statues.”  ....
 
 
I thought the joke was GREAT! But if you want to read the rest of the article go to http://www.patrickmadrid.com/Madrid_Do_Statues_Equal_Idolatry.pdf

 
Like a deer that longs for running waters so my soul longs for you, O God.
Ps 42:1
