You might be surprised to know that Jehovah's Witnesses agree with you on this one. Although, they'd level the same accusations against you for the plethora of Jesus statures and pictures, as well as "idols" of the angel Moroni. You might want to think twice before going down this particular road...especially since it's one that, to my knowledge, is not traveled by church leaders.
