Catholics do not worship Mary.

Judging by Mark Twains comments and the preponderance of "Mary" threads as of late I would say that's debatable.

Catholics do not claim to worship Mary. You may argue that they are doing so inadvertently, but that’s a different argument.

Twain states clearly he could be wrong. The "preponderance of 'Mary' threads" does nothing to "prove" Catholics worship Mary.

They are, however, filled with evidence of anti-Catholic hate.

You obviously missed what Twain wrote:

I may be wrong in this—my judgment errs often,

He was and you are as well.

So long as you don't claim it to be an honest debate, you're entitled to that opinion.

Wow. So, let’s see here. You base your conclusions on what Catholics REALLY do and believe on what a humorist wrote over a century ago and the fact that Catholics post threads here about Mary?

So, that would mean Protestants - according to your logic - must really worship the Bible since there are so many threads posted here about the Bible, right?
