“Please wake up, Puny! You have to “meet” Mary, honor her, love her, but you can surely pray to Jesus alone”

Ah, you have no idea how much I feel for you in these delusions. I WAS a Catholic. I’ve PRAYED to Mary. Guess what? She never helped me. But God did. Ah, how did a religion it is that you are in, that you are satisfied with so little, when true answer to prayer is available by the only God who can hear. Not your dumb idols, which hear nothing and can do nothing.

Stick with your blasphemies! I will stay with Jesus Christ.

You're grouping Mary, the mother of Christ, in with "dumb idols"? Even by fallen-away kids wouldn't talk like that! Gives me something to be happy about in that regard, I guess.

But I'm sorry the Catholic Church did nothing for you; did you participate in her Sacraments daily? Adoration? Confession? Today at Mass, there were only 18-20 people, small crowd in a small parish. By the time we got up to leave, 12 or so were walking behind us. Each one of them stopped to kiss and hold [for quite some time] the very large [and somewhat bloody] crucifix of Jesus out in the lobby. It was one of the most touching things I've ever seen. Latinos, Indians, an Oriental couple, a Black lady, and a few whites too. You don't even see crucifixes in non-Catholic churches. Watered down way to worship IMO.
