What are Catholic statues?

Catholic statues are figures of saints and other well-known religious figures. These statues are displayed in Catholic churches and homes as a representative of a pious life.

Catholics are commonly accused of worshipping statues in direct defiance of the Bible. According to Catholic Doors, statues in Catholic houses and churches are not worshipped but merely serve the same purpose as framed photographs. Catholic statues can be made from a variety of substances, including stone and metals. Most home statues are made with resins or other light-weight and low-cost materials. Statues can range from small 1-inch pieces to life-size replicas of the saint being portrayed.
