A:

Christian churches that have statues of saints insist they are not idols, although you will often see members of the congregation praying before them. The Christian (mainly Catholic) view is that statues are used to stand for the truth they represent, whereas non-Christian statues only represent gods in whom Christians do not believe.

What is the name of the statue in a Catholic church?

There are often many statutes in Catholic churches and there don't need to be any. They don't have a particular name. For example, a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Sometimes 2-dimensional representations of saints are present. These are called icons. These are more common in Eastern Catholic and Orthodox churches than Roman Catholic churches but you sometimes find icons in Roman churches too.

What is a stand used for in church?

This would largely depend on the type of stand referenced. Stands are often used by preachers to hold Bibles and notes during preaching. Stands are also used my musicians in and out of churches to hold music during performances. A stand might also be used to support a statue of a particular saint (although is would be more particular to the Catholic Church). ******* Such a stand is commonly known as a 'lectern'.
