No, it isn't. Mary worship is.
Protestants treat the Bible as if it were the perfect recording of God's Word.
Sources? Links?
Kosta has provided about a ton of examples of the Bible being corrupted over the years, and yet there's still a monkey pile of Bible worshipers here that continue to bury their heads in the sand and pretend God grabbed the hand of so many ancient scribes and used his magic tractor beam to write the perfect book. What a load of total garbage.
The Catholic church claims to have written the Bible, saying that its church fathers wrote it. You shouldn't talk about them that way.
A true Christian does NOT place the words of St. Paul on the same level, nor (as seen disgustingly way too often here place) do true Christians place the words of St. Paul OVER those of Christ.
Tell that to annalex who said in this post (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/2618333/posts?page=1488#1488)
Everything S,.t Paul write is inspired scripture and supports the Catholic doctrines. Whoever disparaged St. Paul doesn’t understand Catholicism. We are Pauline Christians.
Yet the Protestants love to worship a BOOK!!
Who have you seen making statues of it, lighting candles to it, and praying to it?
It's nice to have a book to accompany someone in their quest to be an apprentice of Christ, but if I want to TRULY learn what it is that Christ wants from us, I'm going listen to the folks he taught, and not rely solely on the acoompanying "manual" for my education.
How are you going to do that? Time travel? They're all dead you know.....
Believing the Bible is the inerrant 'word' of God is about ridiculous as believing in the Easter Bunny.
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
107 The inspired books teach the truth. "Since therefore all that the inspired authors or sacred writers affirm should be regarded as affirmed by the Holy Spirit, we must acknowledge that the books of Scripture firmly, faithfully, and without error teach that truth which God, for the sake of our salvation, wished to see confided to the Sacred Scriptures."72
"If there is no truth, all that is left is a struggle of propaganda." Ethan Clive Osgoode

INDEED. What an idiotic bunch of claptrap you were responding to.
Great post, metmom.
No Protestant bows down to the Bible or prays to the Bible or asks the Bible to intercede between them and God.
All those idolatries are the stock in trade of the papacy.
