It also dosen't condem prayer beads (rosary) in worship.
It doesn't condem kneeling and genuflecting (making the sign of the cross)
It doesn't condem the painting of Icons.
It doesn't condem confesional boths.
It doesn't condem lighting candles for prayers.
Yet, it does say Not to incorporate the worship of the heathens into the worship of the almighty God. I really enjoy these discussions on the Catholic Mass with Pentecostals. It always shows me that no matter what, if a person wants to do something they will make arguments and fight like wolves to protect their traditions. Even when they are going down in flames they will use self justification and conjecture to up hold their sacred cow. They turn around and blast conservatives for standards of dress, but when their own practices are attacked they make heroic attempts to defend them.
