If you worship Christ why do you so often keep Him pictured as a small child or baby in the arms of a full grown Mary with a halo around her head. It would to all practical appearances look like it is Mary who you really worship.

if you have a picture of a child with its mother...do they age in the picture with time....probably not. Also, the pictures of Christ and His mother were painted by artists...many very famous, who painted what they percieved to be the Christ child and His mom. No Catholic "worships" Mary, but unlike protestants, we also do not ignore her.

They perceived,that is the only problem i have with it, however the protestant churches also do the same thing, they have a long haired woman looking man painted by what some have said was a homosexual that they worship, which is no more Biblical than what the Catholics do.
