Seems like they are too pussified to act on faith and not by sight. If you need to erect an idol in order for you to "feel more empowered to worship God"…. then you're not doing it right.
What are the problems with Catholicism?
Catholicism per se is a human development of 2000 years. Of course It has problems. It had them since the year 34 aD. One of the main problems I perceive is that It calls itself catholic. Well. No. I refuse that label. You are either a follower of Christ or not. There's only one 'Good News' only one Gospel only one Christ. Who defines who is right? Well, if you believe in the Holy Spirit and in the apostolic sucession then you only have two options and it's either catholic or orthodox. But at the end refuse to put yourself any label before Christ. I refuse to call myself catholic.
I must add that some catholics give traditions and forms too much importance without acknowledging the real importance of these things. This is a risk and makes me uncomfortable. But this only makes me understand that the gate is really really narrow. They are carnals. Creating new interpretations of the gospel just to remove the magnificient human culture built on Christ is a tremendous mistake. Because those errors are and always will be present. With the added risk that now anyone can bend the gospel at their own interest.
