== Idolatrous/polytheistic ==
I'd like to have a source citation for the statement that
:many feel that Catholics practice [[idolatry]] and a form of [[polytheism]] by praying to statues of saints. (Catholics respond by saying praying to saints is not the same as worshiping them.)
Who, exactly, are these "many" people? The reader is entitled to know who is saying this and exactly what it is that they are saying. No doubt there ''are'' some people who believe this, but it shouldn't go into the article as a vague, unsourced assertion. One might just as well say that "some people believe that Bible literalists practice idolatry." Or that "some people believe that Jews [insert anti-Semitic canard here]."
