Look, I have no hatred for Roman Catholics. I do despise your practice of Maryolatry however. If you pray to a being you consider that being god-like. This is sacreligious. Blasphemous. I don't know how you can obey Christ, take communion, study the scriptures and still practice such an abomination. I shall never understand it.

Your post towards the Catholic faith OOZES hatred for something you even admit you don't understand. -- THAT is unchristian.

You call our veneration of Mary "an abomination," as well as "sacriligious" and "blasphemous." -- THAT is an attack upon my faith and I will defend it.

And since your post was full of inaccuracies about what Catholics truly believe, it would appear that YOU are the liar.

I'm not lying. I'm saying what my biblical studies have led me to believe.

I'm a Protestant. I protest what my Roman Catholic forebears have done to Christianity. Sorry, that's just the way it is. You have made church tradition equal to scripture which is exactly what the religious leaders did to Judaism and what Christ fought with them about.

It is plain. The sins and errors of the Popes down through history is undeniable and clearly recorded. Yet you all believe in papal infalibility. I hope that if you all cling to your belief in the sacrifice of The Christ and hold that preemminant above all else ... your religious foibles will not be held against you for eternity. However someone is going to be held accountable for so much of the RC church (Mexico and S. America) holding Mary equal with Christ. Perhaps even superiour.
