It's actually a really simple strategy by the Catholic church..
"LOOK! LOOK WHAT YOUR SIN DID TO HIM!! LOOK WHAT HE HAD TO SUFFER AND HOW HE HAD TO DIE FOR YOU !!! VENERATE HIM!!!!"

(Holy Trinity / Three in One / One in Substance with the Father... hence... "Worship of God, not of Idolatry"... Emotional use of ICONS (important distinction)).

As someone who was raised as Catholic, I never understood the obsession with the crucifixion myself. It's not just the image of Jesus on the cross, or talk about how he was killed then resurrected... They go into great detail about it. Most Catholic churches have some area devoted to painting or murals of the stations of the cross, basically a picture book of Jesus' torture and public execution... I suppose it's to feed into the guilt and persecution complexes the church tries to instill on it's followers.
Method of Madness:
Ok, but I mean...how is the empty cross any better? How is it any different than a religion where the prophet who was executed by electric chair and using that as the religion's symbol?
Welu:
The actual graphic representation of an injured, bloody, suffering and dying Christ figure atop it. It's a lot more in your face when there's a body and face able to stare back at you than empty.
