Bible Note: Joe The Catholic Church has recognized that some Catholics gave (or give) the wrong value to statues and the Church has taken action to help people understand that they are taking things to far. You and I both know that the formal position of the Catholic Church is that a statue of a saint serves the same purpose as the photograph of my grandmother: when I look at it, it helps me remember what a wonderful person she was. With every denomination, you have extremists who are not reflective of the true beliefs. I don't remember the exact location, but there was a culture which believed that if you photographed someone, you were capturing their soul - I assure you, it wasn't in Rome.
