@reuters: Peruvians installed a 46-foot statue of Pope Leo XIV in a park in Callao using a crane to lift its torso and head into place. Sculptor Rafael Gutierrez said it had a galvanized steel interior and a catalyzed nautical paint coating to protect it from sea salt and corrosion. #pope #popeleo #religion #peru #statue

As a Catholic, I don’t think you should ever make statues of the living. We make them of Saints, because it is a reminder of the path they walked. It is following in their footsteps, because they are verified through the Catholic Church, to be in heaven.

Idolatría! Exodo 20:4-6 dice: ”No te hagas ninguna imagen tallada ni nada que tenga forma de algo que esté arriba en los cielos, abajo en la tierra o debajo en las aguas. 5 No te inclines ante esas cosas ni te dejes convencer para servirles, porque yo, Jehová tu Dios, soy un Dios que exige devoción exclusiva. Hago que el castigo por el error de los padres recaiga sobre los hijos, sobre la tercera generación y sobre la cuarta generación de los que me odian, 6 pero les demuestro amor leal por mil generaciones a los descendientes de los que me aman y obedecen mis mandamientos.”
