Best Answer
AnswerSome early dissenters questioned the Catholic practice of making statues of its saints and then kneeling down and praying before them. However, the official Catholic position is that this differs from idol worship because the saints are only 'venerated' and because prayers to saints are only for intercession to God. This practice is the closest that modern Christianity comes to what is called idol worship.
