While the RCC might CLAIM it is not “worship”, that is irrelevant. When you bow down to statues, pray to them (or the being they represent), bring offernings (such as flowers) to them and adore them, you are worshipping them.

Did you come on to this thread to learn or clarify what you already believe to be true about Catholicism or are you just here to spout falsehoods and display your ignorance? If you have never read the Catechism of the Catholic Church, never read any of the Encyclicals, or actually consulted with Catholic Clergy on issues of dogma then you have no legitimate basis for comment or opinion other than to say "it appears as though". To state anything definitively from a position of shear ignorance based upon voyeur like observations is ludicrous.
