A non-Catholic once asked me if it was true that Catholics worship idols. The Bible tells us not to worship graven images yet Catholics have statues all over the place. He reminded me about the reference in the book of Exodus where the command was given to worship no graven images. My response was that he was essentially right with what he said, but that it was incomplete.
The other half of that command is “you shall not bow down before them or serve them”. Catholics do not worship statues, if you go into a church and you see someone kneeling
