I am absolutely denying it, and stating for the umpteenth time that Catholics do not “bow down to graven images,”

Please look up what a graven image is. People bow to each other all over the world, such as in Japan, and to monarchs, in their own countries. It is a symbol of respect.
If you had a photograph of the Mother of God, how would you treat it? A religious statute brings to mind the glory of God, teachings about the glory of God, and an example of how to follow God.
A graven image would be an idol, held equal to God. To bow before it would be a violation of the first commandment, which as I warned you before, to assert Catholics are violating it is false, and your promotion of the falsehood could be interpreted as a violation of the commandment to not bear false witness.
