Please stop your Catholic bashing Why are you being uncivil towards that poster? He has undoubtly seen Catholics kneeling before statues and praying to them, or seeming to. According to the Bible that is wrong. So why attack him for his Christian beliefs?

"Uncivil"?! How about you non Catholics being civil for a change. BTW, where does it say in the bible that we can't show respect and love to the mother of Jesus Christ? I suggest you go back and read the Blessed Mother's MAGNIFICAT.

Why are you and scottro making assumptions? Could it be due to ignorance or simply incivility?

Yes, this is what I am talking about. The poor man thinks Catholics pray to statues, because it seems that way to him. He doesn't know that the Catholic Church condemns such silliness.
That is the first point of ecumenism, I think. First we've got be clear on the reality of what everyone actually believes, before we can begin to discuss the rightness or wrongness of those beliefs.

Step out of your Protestant shoes for a moment and get some perspective. No one likes having their beliefs demeaned. I'm sure you don't. Catholics are generally just tired of being peppered on every thread by some silly, debunked Protestant strawman that Protestants either don't know or don't care about the answer to.
We'll stop being "uncivil" (and if you wanna see uncivil, that post wasn't it) when you guys stop pissing all over our threads.

Kneeling before idols and worshiping them is wrong. Praying before a statue of someone who actually lived and is now with God is not.
