There you go again.

You are not listening. Certainly honor is given to Mary, she is due it. Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother. That would seem to imply Jesus honored his mother, should we not do the same.

As for your idea that This Catholic Church taught to worship Mary, that is ludicrous. If it did it is not Catholic. Rather than bringing your biases to the area, I suggest you read and learn what the Church teaches. It would do you a great deal of good.

Look at it this way. If you kneel to pray with the Bible in your hand, you could be seen as worshiping the book, not necessarily the ideas, which are not visible. If you kneel to pray in front of your bed, are you worshiping the bed. Your logic says yes. Catholics would say no. Rather the Bible in prayer, statues in prayer, the Blessed Sacrament serve as tools which assist in prayer directing our worship and adoration to Christ.

I'm glad that my Catholic husband is a reasonable man who enjoys discussing these issues. We have great give-and-take discussions.
