As a christian, is having statues of saints and mary and pictures of the pope in your house idol worship? [Spirituality & Religion]

My mom has WAY too many of these things, she criticizes Hinduism a lot but is her talking about saints not the same thing? I tried to explain it to her in a calm matter but I don't think she wants to listen, what is your thought on this? Worshiping mary is worshipping an Idol, no? Since mary was like any of us and only Jesus was without sin.

Christianity just reskinned multiple varieties of paganism in order to "unify them under Christ" for social and political expedience. At this point, it's hard to argue about the validity of any one wing of Christianity.
