"Catholics worship statues!" People still make this ridiculous claim. Because Catholics have statues in their churches, goes the accusation, they are violating God’s commandment: "You shall not make for yourself a graven image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow down to them or serve them" (Ex. 20:4–5); "Alas, this people have sinned a great sin; they have made for themselves gods of gold" (Ex. 32:31).
Here's a video that shows how a man burned and smashed all of his replica of saints just to teach everyone a lesson, the said video quickly trends on social media and garnered too much negative comments.
Attention Roman Catholic world wide Narito ang mga rebolto na aking ni lelechon Ginawa kung panggatongJoshua 24:23.Ngayon nga'y alisin ninyo, sabi niya, ang ibang mga dios na nasa gitna ninyo at ikiling ninyo ang inyong puso sa Panginoon, na Dios ng Israel.

God knows what his own commandments mean. He never condemned the use of statues absolutely. Second, God created man as a being who is essentially spiritual and physical. In order to draw us to himself, God uses both spiritual and physical means. He will use statues, the temple, or even creation itself to guide us to our heavenly home.
