"Graven" is carved...like engraved...scratched on...

(Exodus 20:4-5) “You must not make for yourself a carved image or a form like anything that is in the heavens above or that is on the earth underneath or that is in the waters under the earth. 5 You must not bow down to them nor be induced to serve them, because I Jehovah your God am a God exacting exclusive devotion, bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation, in the case of those who hate me;

...a form like anything... covers even images of Jesus and Mary...So is the RCC doing the right thing?

They are referred to as religious Icons.

- They can refer to them how they want, they are still against God's will.

There is a difference in having a graven image, and worshipping it.

Catholics merely have the images.
Comments
- whenever i see Catholics worshipping, they are covering any of the images with kissing and even feelings. They do not just let those images lie there...They are in fact worshipping the images...wrongfully thinking that by doing this, they are worshipping God.
  The scripture on this is very clear...NO IMAGES...
  
  In this matter, ISLAM is obedient...THEY HAVE NO IMAGES AT ALL.
  To compensate, they have turned their writing into an art form...

- Bullshit they (Islam) doesn't have graven images. You should take a gander at the next time they have a rally with one of their religious leaders. You can see posters and pictures up the gumpstump.
  
  Such notions of no depiction of Mohammed are a recent invention:
