Catholics believe in the trinity, worship statues of Jesus and Mary, and statues and even body parts of saints. Is this idolatry or not?
I wanted to ask for your opinion on something. Do you think it's idolatry for Catholics to worship statues of Jesus, Mary, and saints, considering they believe in the trinity?
Idolatry is generally defined as the worship of idols or images as gods. While some may view the use of statues as a form of idol worship, the Catholic Church considers them as aids to devotion rather than objects of worship.
