Let's talk about idolatry

Coming from "not" a Catholic background but a Baptist background, I can see where some people would get their drawers all in a wad over people kneeling at a banner during a worship service. There are many reasons why non-Catholics don't want to kneel at a banner.
Whatever the reasons, we who are not Catholic can get so caught up in not appearing Catholic that we miss out on the richness and meaning of worship when we use symbolism in sights, smells, sounds and textures.
Anyway, it would highly offend some people at my church so we don't kneel at the banners, but we do kneel at the altar.....with the banners present on the platform.
