Why do Catholic churches have statues of virgins and Jesus if the Bible says not to?

The Roman catholic Church says that they do not worship the statues but that they are a means to aid in worshiping God. Exodus 20: 4, 5. says not to make a carved image of anything. If Jesus had made an image of his mother and knelt and prayed to it the Law of God would have meant that his fellow worshippers - the Jews- would have to stone him to death.
