Some honestly explain to me why this is not heresy?

It's not that big of a deal and every Catholic knows it. It's just one of the standard catalog of images Prots use to "prove" Catholicism is heresy. Next comes the pic of Francis kissing a black man's foot.

Ahaha this is the power of Vatican 2 Catholicism. It is Clear that just as St Pope Gregory said, anyone who claims the title universal bishop is the forerunner to the Antichrist. No wonder that this gay syncratism is so common and even dogmatised by Vatican II

Compared to crawling forward and passionately kissing the toes of a statue it's pretty mild. So in one way, it makes sense they don't see the big problem.

How can it be something born of the 1960s when you believe that Islam was invented by the RCC way back in the 600s?

The absolute state of catholic mental gymnastics
