Seriously is there truly anyone over the age of 20 who has not heard this before? To keep spreading the lie that Catholics worship Mary either directly or by implication is just evil. Disagreeing with the RCC is one thing, deliberately altering their teaching is another. Something truly unworthy of a Christian.

You guys pray to Mary and your Saints and ask them to perform miracles for you...That's worship...

You're wrong on a number of count's here.

First, praying does not have to be worship. It can, be but it can be used to "make an earnest petition".

Second, they aren't "our" saints, they're God's.

Third, any miracles that occur are through God's power. The saints are only intercessors for us, just as if I pray to God for someone, I am an intercessor.

Again not accurate. Neither Catholics nor Orthodox pray to Mary or the saints. We ask them to pray for us. I’m assuming that you have asked others to pray for you, we do likewise. We however are willing to also make the request of the Church Triumphant. After all we.believe that those who have fallen asleep in The Lord have eternal life and can thus pray for us.

We certainly do.

Sometimes, the miracles occur, too.

By the way, are you still pushing the lie that the Catholic Church doesn't celebrate the Eucharist in both bread and wine?
