“Since when is a catholic idol considered as an avoda zara? It is not considered as a god in itself.”
Also to MW13. Forget the cross. I’m talking about the icons of mary. catholics pray to mary. that is an avoda zara, even for a non jew. there is no issue of shituf to discuss on this one. it is one of a number of “problems” protestants have with catholicism.
So, when will the bachurim go and be mikayim this mitzvah to uproot avoda zara?
