Papist and Orthopagan logic comes from the fact that people knelt down and worshipped Jesus, who was God in the Flesh. So because people did this to Jesus, they believe it's ok to make a statue of some other person believed to be in heaven and bow down to it so long as you call it an "icon" instead of an "idol." No I'm not kidding. This is the actual logic they use to flaunt the Second Commandment. Catholics have their own talmud called the catechism AKA "sacred tradition" that they use to lawyer all sorts of weird pagan practices into Christianity. This is because after Emperor Constantine forced everyone in the Roman Empire to convert to Christianity, they had to take all the pagan religious rites and copypaste biblical names over everything to get the plebs to go along with it. This is how you end up with the Marian cult and all their fanfic lore about the Virgin Mary remaining a virgin forever after Jesus was born (contradicting Matthew 1:25, Matthew 13:55-56, Mark 6:3, and Acts 1:14), how she was born sinless (contradicting Romans 3:23, Romans 5:12, Romans 5:19, and 1 Corinthians 15:22), and how the she never died but was "assumed" into heaven (yes Catholics actually believe this because the pope declared it to be true in the year 1950 AD).
