The problem was actually unscrupulous merchants who took advantage of poor pilgrims. People would travel for days to make their required offerings at the Temple and the animal sellers and money changers took advantage of that and made huge profits. That is what angered Christ.
And Mary is worshiped. I have seen people post things about how that doesn't happen. Then I read some writing from the Catholic church showing that clearly she is.
But you know what? I won't change your mind, and you won't change my mind, so debate is a waste of electrons.

What you said in a paragraph I said in one sentence.
“And Mary is worshiped.”
Not by Catholics she isn’t.
“I have seen people post things about how that doesn’t happen.”
In other words, you’ve seen people post the truth and you chose to ignore it.
“Then I read some writing from the Catholic church showing that clearly she is.”
No, actually you never did. You can’t read what doesn’t exist.
“But you know what? I won’t change your mind, and you won’t change my mind, so debate is a waste of electrons.”
But you know what? Someone who chooses to ignore the truth and makes up falsehoods isn’t interested in debate. Like I said, Catholics posted the truth and you chose to ignore it. Sure sounds like wilfull ignorance to me.
