How should we explain Catholics bowing and kissing a wooden image of Jesus - idol worshipping?
Watch as Catholic church members bow down and kiss a wooden image of Jesus. Is this biblical?
Catholic teaching (Catechism, Paragraph 1192) insists that venerating images like a crucifix honors Jesus, not the object. This, they claim, distinguishes the practice from idolatry. However, critics argue the practice violates the Second Commandment (Exodus 20:4-5) - which speaks against graven images, labeling it idolatry despite intent.
This debate reflects historical divides, like the Protestant Reformation’s rejection of religious imagery.
What’s your take? Is this devotion or idolatry?
