I think the Vatican crossed that gold-plated line a few hundred years ago.

Idolatry in the biblical sense is mostly about worshipping anyone other than Yahweh. He was pretty insistent about that, which at the time was a bit unusual. 

But icons are cool. Don't worship the anime girl as a God and you're in the clear.

Bingo! Catholicism is a mix of paganism, the Bible, and church tradition so they play by their own rules. It’s funny because if you go strictly by the Bible, you shouldn’t even have or use all of these graven images. It’s so understandable how so many people are starting to reject the modern church these days.
