Roman Catholic. Keyword is "Roman". They're into statues & shit before Christianity took over. If you look at the other side of the schism, Greek Orthodox frown upon statues & images.

Also, Jesus turned water into wine. What more can I ask for?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thurible

[QUOTE]A thurible is a metal censer suspended from chains, in which incense is burned during worship services. It is used in Christian churches including the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Armenian Apostolic, as well as in some Lutheran, Old Catholic, and Anglican churches (with its use almost universal amongst Anglo Catholic Anglican churches). In Roman Catholic, Lutheran, and Anglican churches, the altar server who carries the thurible is called the thurifer. The practice is rooted in the earlier traditions of Judaism in the time of the Second Jewish Temple.[1]
