It's a symbolic representation of Mother earth. Offering respect to a symbol is done all the time in the church. (Communion, the crucifix, etc) I'm not Catholic either.

The leap to "Pope is Satan" is farfetched, in my opinion.

The dictum to not worship idols is widely misunderstood. The Buddhists put it better when they say not to mistake the finger pointing to the moon for the moon.
