Roman Catholic AnswerCatholics were founded by Our Blessed Lord on St. Peter when He said, "on this rock, I will build my Church." It was born from His side as He hung dead on the Cross and was pierced by a sword, and shown to the world fifty days later on the feast of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit descended on the Apostles. Catholics therefore worship the One God, and His Son, Our Blessed Lord; they also believe in the Ten Commandments which specifically outlaw worshipping idols. Catholics are Christians so they would not do anything so insane as to worship a statue.

Who do Catholics worship besides God?

Catholic AnswerThat depends entirely on how you are defining "worship." If you are using the word "worship" as most protestants in the English speaking world currently use the word, you are referring to the adoration that is due to God alone. In that sense of the word, Catholics worship God, and only God. As He is the only Divine Being, our Creator, and Eternal, He is the only thing worthy of Adoration. Catholics call this latria. So to answer your question, in that sense of the English word, worship, Catholics worship nothing besides God.

Where do Catholics worship their God?

They worship in the Catholic Church. Catholics worship God "in spirit and truth" (see St. John 4:23). They attend Mass and receive the other Sacraments in Church so that they are fed to go out and worship Him in their daily lives "in spirit and truth."
