Every single word of The New Testament was written by a member of the Catholic Church. Your understanding of the Bible, while I am sure well-intended, is neither authoritative or definitive. The author of any text/texts is the one best qualified to explain its meaning. That is the Catholic Church established by Jesus.

Catholics do not worship Mary or the Saints. Long ago, St. Augustine responded to these accusations by demanding those making that charge prove it.

So, prove it. There are countless old Missals, new missals, you can go to any Catholic Liturgy/Mass and use the missals there to prove your charge.

Every word of the New Testament was written by members of the Church, but I have just given my reasons I don't identify that church solely with the modern catholic church.

why then do many Catholics kneel before, and pray to Graven Images of past "saints" and Mary?

were we, or were we not commanded by the very Peter you claim to be the first pope not to kneel before any man?

as well were we not commanded no to make to ourselves any graven images?
