A:No, although praying to statues of saints appears similar to idolatry. Idolatry is when someone prays to a statue or image of a god, and in fact Christians often believe that the statue or image itself is being worshiped rather than just being an image of the god. Catholics pray to saints for intercession and only use the statue as an image of the saint. This is not considered idolatry.
