Local Catholic Piety

On a Sunday afternoon bike ride today, we came across these two statues strategically placed in some people's homes. I was heartened to see Catholics who are not reluctant to show their faith . Oh yeah, just a reminder, we don't worship statues! (for the 900th time on this blog) They are inanimate objects but indeed point us to those they represent. We honor the Lord and his Mom by placing statues in our home and they are neat ways to remind us of our faith. The Holy Scriptures and the Catholic faith together teach us to worship no one but God alone.  It is supreme irony to accuse Catholics of idolatry. In more than 8 years of being Catholic, I have yet to find an individual who told me he or she worships the image they were praying in front of.  Learn more about Catholics and idolatry here.
